In the United States, a fresh, forward-thinking generation is emerging, as evidenced by the expanding membership rolls of the Democratic Socialists of America (90,000, predominantly in their twenties), Marxist commentators in Teen Vogue, and, most notably, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Rise of a New Left is the first book to delve deeply into this emerging political landscape. Through in-depth interviews with AOC and other pivotal figures and organizations that have revolutionized American politics, the book offers captivating portraits of groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America, the Sunrise Movement, and Justice Democrats, shedding light on their origins, goals, and aspirations. The book explores the diverse range of strategies employed by these new movements and their interplay with politicians ranging from Bernie Sanders to Nancy Pelosi, examining how the generational emphasis on insurgent electoral campaigns simultaneously aims to transform the Democratic Party and poses the risk of being co-opted by it. Authored with a vibrant and engaging style by a member of this rising generation, this book immerses readers in a vibrant youth culture reminiscent of the vibrant Sixties.
