Reviews

""This book is a pathbreaking and riveting ethnographic account of grassroots climate politics. In New York City, as Holt shows, DSA organizers built a 'movement party' from the ground up, confronted entrenched elites, and won historic Green New Deal legislation. A must-read for anyone interested in how democratic organizations can build popular power, take on the powerful interests that profit from the climate crisis, and win a sustainable future for all."" - Thea Riofrancos, author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism) ""This fascinating ethnography demonstrates how socialism can be pursued -even in the face of rising fascism, economic inequality, and ecological degradation- through the combination of movement and party politics. Holt's analysis of the socialist movement in New York City uncovers the powerful potential of organizational innovation, talent, and long-term strategizing in the development of a movement party."" - Donatella della Porta, author of Contentious Politics in Emergency Critical Junctures: Progressive Social Movements During the Pandemic
