OUTSIDER IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Book ID/图书代码: 13850016B88089

English Summary/英文概要: The political autobiography of the insurgent presidential candidate

Bernie Sanders’s campaign for the presidency of the United States has galvanized people all over the country, putting economic, racial, and social justice into the spotlight, and raising hopes that Americans can take their country back from the billionaires and change the course of history.

In this book, Sanders tells the story of a passionate and principled political life. He describes how, after cutting his teeth in the Civil Rights movement, he helped build a grassroots political movement in Vermont, making it possible for him to become the first independent elected to the US House of Representatives in forty years. The story continues into the US Senate and through the dramatic launch of his presidential campaign.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 本书是角逐总统宝座的候选人的自传。

Bernie Sanders的总统竞选活动激起了全国民众对他的大力支持,他在经济、人中和社会公平方面的想法激起了美国人从巨富手中夺回自己国家并改变历史进程的希望。

在本书中,Sanders回顾了他充满激情、刚正不阿的政治生涯。他表述了自己如何通过人权运动汲取了经验并第一次在佛蒙特州开展了政治运动,并成为了四十年来第一个以独立人士身份当选的众议员。随后,他获选参议院并戏剧性地开始了总统竞选。(LYR)

Awards/获奖情况:我支持Bernie Sanders,因为他追求公正已经超过五十年了,他是那种能够坚持到底的人。如今正是那些支持他的人大声发出自己声音的时候。(Cornel West,著有《Race Matters》)

Bernie近年来一直站在所有关键的环境战争的前线。(Bill McKibben,350.org的合作创办人)

Bernie不是那种会研读选票,为了当选而考虑应该说些什么的人。他是下定决心要追求公正、平等和健康的金融环境的人。(Ben Cohen,Ben & Jerry’s合作创办人,以及Stampede: Stamp Money out of Politics发起人)

我觉得说“价值”和“道德”这样的词很奇怪,因为今天这些词差不多已经和偏执或者贪婪画上了等号。但我很想将这些词用来形容Bernie Sanders,因为他的道德观念和价值观念都深深地激励着我。(Sarah Silverman,喜剧演员和社会评论家)

Reviews

“I endorse Brother Bernie Sanders because he is a long-distance runner with integrity in the struggle for justice for over fifty years. Now is the time for his prophetic voice to be heard across our crisisridden country.”
– Cornel West, author of Race Matters

“Bernie’s been in the forefront of all the crucial environmental fights of recent years.”
– Bill McKibben, cofounder of 350.org

“Bernie is the real thing. He’s not about reading the polls and finding out what he needs to say in order to get elected. He’s about an unwavering commitment to basic justice, equality and sound financial sense.”
– Ben Cohen, cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s and founder of Stampede: Stamp Money out of Politics

“I feel weird using words like ‘values’ and ‘morals’ because those are words that have been co-opted to justify terrible things like bigotry and greed. I’d like to take those words back and use them to describe Bernie Sanders because his moral compass and sense of values inspire me.”
– Sarah Silverman, comedian and social commentator

“A clear, compelling and comprehensive vision for reinvigorating democracy, reducing poverty, rebuilding the middle class and restructuring our health care and education systems. Sanders gives us a vision of the day when ‘we will no longer be outsiders in the House.’”
– In These Times (in praise of Outsider in the House)

“Outsider in the House is a rare achievement: a concise, compelling book that both tells an interesting story and provides a readable, down-to-earth blueprint for political change.”
– The Onion (in praise of Outsider in the House)

“A road map for how progressives can win elections and not be a part of the two party duopoly.”
– Ralph Nader (in praise of Outsider in the House)

“A grass-roots ‘how-to’ guide, especially helpful and inspirational for prospective independent candidates—a firsthand description of the career of the most successful American socialist politician in modern times.”
– The Hill (in praise of Outsider in the House)

About the Author/作者介绍: Bernie Sanders led Hillary Clinton by a 22-point lead in the New Hampshire primaries, the second biggest democratic New Hampshire primary win in history!

And a recent Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll showed that 43 percent of Iowa Democratic caucus goers described themselves as “socialist” while only 38 percent described themselves as “capitalist.”

Bernie Sanders has tapped in to a growing popular movement that demands economic justice for all. Embrace the resurgence of socialist ideas by picking up some new and recently published books on socialist history and American politics.
