THE RISE OF A NEW LEFT - RAINA LIPSITZ GEBUNDEN

A new progressive generation is on the rise in the United States  reflected in the mushrooming
rolls of the Democratic Socialists of America (90 000 mostly twentysomething members)  Marxist
explainers in Teen Vogue  and perhaps most famously of all  the youngest woman ever elected to
Congress  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC and the Rise of a New American Left is the first book
to look closely at this new politics. Propelled by interviews with AOC and the other key
figures and organizations who have shaken up American politics  the book includes portraits of
groups like Democratic Socialists of America  the Sunrise Movement  and Justice Democrats 
explaining who they are  where they come from  and what they want. Investigating the panopy of
strategies employed by the new movements and their relationship to politicians from Bernie
Sanders to Nancy Pelosi  the book describes how the generational focus on insurgent electoral
campaigns both aims to transform the Democratic Party and threatens to be captured by it.
Written with panache by a member of this rising generation  this book immerses the reader in a
youth culture the likes of which haven't been seen since Sixties.
