{"product_id":"year-left-volume-3-reshaping-the-us-left","title":"Year Left Volume 3, Reshaping the US Left","description":"This is the first chronicle of the other side of the Reagan era: the surprising renaissance of the popular left across the United States. Challenging political conservatism and possessive individualism, a vigorous spectrum of community-based oppositions and insurgent subcultures has flourished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book puts the different experiences together in a common perspective. Participants recount the history of the radical struggles of our time: the Central America solidarity campaigns, the Sanctuary movement, the 'Freeze', the women's peace movement, the new eco-socialism, and more. Union activists analyze a trio of seminal community-supported labor struggles - P-9, Watsonville and GM Van Nuys - that have shown ways to resist concessions and plant closure. There is a fascinating comparison with the experience of Canadian labor against the New Right: Solidarity in British Columbia. A final section reconsiders the language of class in American history and offers fresh perspectives on racism and the representation of white working-class experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with previous volumes of \u003ci\u003eThe Year Left\u003c\/i\u003e on socialists and the Democratic Party (volume 1) and the Rainbow Coalition and popular cultures of color (volume 2), this is intended to be a fundamental contribution to discussion of the future of the American left.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56797297705304,"sku":"9780860919094","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780860919094_ba3b34ff-af33-4c8c-b663-1e24422ba936.jpg?v=1780444823","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/year-left-volume-3-reshaping-the-us-left","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
