Exactly who are the new progressive leaders emerging to lead the post-Trump return to democracy in America? National political correspondent D.D. Guttenplans The Next Republic is an extraordinarily intense and wide-ranging history of the recent fall and incipient rise of democracy in America. Here youll meet some of the individuals who are changing the course of American history such as new labor activist Jane McAlevey, racial justice campaigner Chokwe Antar Lumumba, environmental activist Jane Kleeb, Sanders campaign veterans Zack Exley, Waleed Shahid and Corbin Trent, as well as anti-corruption crusader Zephyr Teachout.
Its high time that someone resurrected authentic populism activism from below, and showed how it can be the path to a better future. Thats done very convincingly in D.D. Guttenplans fine book, The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority. Noam Chomsky
D.D. Guttenplan has written a profoundly subversive book. At a moment when Trumpism, cynicism and corruption seem to reign supreme in our politics, he has made a compelling case for hope and optimism about the future of our democracy, and has put the meaning of our republic in its historical context. Victor Navasky
At a moment when history and truth are under attack, and the survival of our republic is once again in doubt, The Next Republic is a timely, humane, forceful narrative of our insurgent political momentand a deeply reported contribution to the fight for a progressive future in America. Katrina Vanden Heuvel, editor & publisher of The Nation
D.D. Guttenplan, London correspondent for The Nation, is the author of The Holocaust on Trial, a book about the Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt libel case. In 2009 Guttenplan completed a biography of I. F. Stone titled American Radical: The Life and Times of I.F. Stone.
