Rent The Democrats: A Critical History (Updated Edition)

Synopsis

The historic 2008 elections put a Democrat in the White House and in the majority in both houses of Congress, yet those hoping for change have been deeply disappointed. Lance Selfa looks at the Democrats in broad historical perspective, showing the institutional roots of today's betrayals, with a new introduction and chapter on the Barack Obama presidency.

Lance Selfa is an editor of International Socialist Review and The Struggle for Palestine. He is also a regular contributor to the Socialist Worker newspaper, based in Chicago, Illinois.
