He emerged from the presidential election as the most popular politician in the US, despite being a 75-year-old self-professed “democratic socialist.” What lessons can be drawn from this surprising but—in the end—losing campaign, and what to make of the direction the Sanders movement has gone since the election?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVermont native Heather Gautney is a senior policy advisor to Bernie Sanders in his Washington, DC office and was a senior researcher on his presidential campaign. The author and editor of several books on social movements and American politics, she brings her scholarly expertise and left politics to bear on the scenes and conflicts she witnessed from inside the campaign and inside the Beltway. This is both an insider's sympathetic view of the Sanders phenomenon and a sceptical left scholar's view of its limitations. In reviewing what enabled Sanders to reach out to an unprecedented number of people with a socialist message, she draws lessons about the prospects and perils of building a leftist movement in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGautney’s reflections on the role that race and class played in this election cycle and her analysis of the prospects and perils of the Democratic Party will advance the passionate debate over how to build a progressive opposition to Trump and a lasting left movement in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrashing the Party\u003c\/em\u003e offers invaluable insights into the dynamics of contemporary political movements and the struggle for a more just society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848856228076,"sku":"9781786634320","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2872243482824.jpg?v=1759001087"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/heather-gautney.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
