The American Left has made significant strides in various social and political movements throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, ranging from women's suffrage to civil rights for African Americans, environmental activism, and the gay and lesbian liberation movement. While celebrated for its achievements, the Left has also faced criticism and undergone numerous transformations over the past century. In his book "All-American Rebellion," historian Robert Cottrell delves into the rise and fall, ebbs and flows of left-wing American movements. The book provides a comprehensive overview of early 20th-century movements and then focuses on the 1960s to the present day, offering readers a concise introduction to the political and ideological roots of the Left.
Cottrell's chapters cover the latest iterations of the American Left, including community organizing, gay liberation, the women's movement, the Campaign for Economic Democracy, the nuclear freeze movement, opposition to U.S. intervention in Central America, the anti-WTO campaign, Code Pink, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and more. The common thread uniting these diverse lefts is their demand for and support of democracy, as well as their pursuit of empowerment in various forms.
Cottrell argues that democratic engagement has been inconsistent and at times contradictory. The Left has achieved its greatest successes when it fully embraces a democratic vision. By examining the historical trajectory of the American Left, Cottrell sheds light on the challenges and opportunities facing progressive movements today. His book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex history and evolving dynamics of the Left in American society.
