ISBN: 9780593317495 - bernie for burlington: the rise of the people's politician (12 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The early days and inexorable rise of the young Bernie Sanders, the one-of-a-kind visionary who changed American politics forever, told by a son of the People's Republic of Burlington, Vermont "The more I read of Dan Chiasson's book, the more moved I was by how absolutely unwavering Bernie's message has been across the many decades of his career." --Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home, on creating the cover art for Bernie for Burlington "A fascinating portrait." --Ian Frazier, author of Paradise Bronx In this symphonic origin story of an era-defining politician, Dan Chiasson, a Burlington native who had a ringside seat to Bernie Sanders's development, reconstructs the rise of an American icon. With in-depth reporting and remarkable remembered scenes, Chiasson tracks a faint political signal that traveled from the Vermont communes, hardluck neighborhoods, traditional businesses, and county fairs to the town meetings and ballot boxes of his home state, and finally to Washington, D.C., to transform our national political landscape. Sanders, insisting on a socialist platform that hasn't changed to this day, defied a corrupt Democratic machine to find his coalition among Burlington's often feuding communities: the conservative French-Canadian Catholics whose grandparents and great-grandparents--including Chiasson's own--had worked in the mills; the puppeteers, hippies, and NYC transplants who'd moved to Vermont to find land and authenticity; the anti-nukers, activist nuns, baseball fans, developers, cops, and small businessmen like Ben and Jerry, who became Ben & Jerry's right there in town. Bernie captivated them all, running on the slogan "Burlington Is Not for Sale" to become the modern era's first socialist mayor, one who got the streets plowed but also boasted a foreign policy and a bullhorn to speak directly to Ronald Reagan. In the tradition of J. Anthony Lukas's Common Ground, this people's epic shows us an American city transformed one diner coffee and one neighborhood door-knock at a time, even as the analog era wanes and a new digital politics appears on the horizon. Full of Sanders himself, reflecting and raging, hitting his themes, Bernie for Burlington is a mesmerizing portrait of a politician, a place, and a movement that would change America.…
