BEING RED: A POLITICS FOR THE FUTURE

Book ID/图书代码： 10953016B89255

English Summary/英文概要： How should the left govern? In the wake of a huge surge of interest in the Labour Party, Ken Livingstone serves up an insider’s account of the Party and its future, at a pivotal moment in its history.

At a time when many are now looking to revive Labour’s potential, Livingstone has form. His account takes us from the self-proclaimed ‘radical socialism’ of the Greater London Council, to his controversial independent candidacy that saw him branded as ‘dangerous’ by the Blairites, to the political battles against privatisation and pollution that characterised his time as Mayor. At each point, he suggests possible lessons for those who would seek to follow, or improve on, his achievements today.

Having spent years at the head of the GLC, served two terms as London Mayor, and having gone head to head with Boris Johnson, Being Red offers a clear-sighted study of the left’s possibilities and limitations, with reflections on the current state of the Labour Party and a look into its future.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 左派该如何执政？在工党面对利益巨变的关键时刻，Ken Livingstone肩负起了这个党派的未来。

当许多人正在寻找重振工党的潜力时，Livingstone已经有了想法。他的理论从大伦敦议会号称的“激进社会主义”开始，逐渐使他发展成为被布莱尔的支持者们称为“危险的”有争议的独立候选人，再到他担任市长期间反对私有化和污染的政治斗争。在每一个阶段，他都为那些跟随者们提供了可能的教训或改进，最终才取得了今天的成就。

在大伦敦议会担任领袖多年以后，他还担任过两届伦敦市长，与Boris Johnson过从甚密。本书用清晰的思路研究了左派执政的可能性和局限性，反思了工党当前的状态并放眼它的未来。(LYR)
