RECLAIMING GOTHAM: BILL DE BLASIO AND THE MOVEMENT TO END AMERICA’S TALE OF TWO CITIES
Book ID/图书代码： 12861018C00011
English Summary/英文概要： In November 2013, a little-known progressive stunned the elite of New York City by capturing the mayoralty by a landslide. Bill de Blasio’s promise to end the “Tale of Two Cities” had struck a chord among ordinary residents still struggling to recover from the Great Recession.
De Blasio’s election heralded the advent of the most progressive New York City government in generations. Not since the legendary Fiorello La Guardia in the 1930s had so many populist candidates captured government office at the same time. Gotham, in other words, had been suddenly reclaimed in the name of its people.
How did this happen? De Blasio’s victory, journalist legend Juan González argues, was not just a routine change of government but a popular rebellion against corporate-friendly policies that had dominated New York for decades. Reflecting that broader change, liberal Democrats Bill Peduto in Pittsburgh, Betsy Hodges in Minneapolis, and Martin Walsh of Boston also won mayoral elections that same year, as did insurgent Ras Baraka in Newark the following year. This new generation of municipal leaders offers valuable lessons for those seeking grassroots reform.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2013年11月，一位鲜为人知的进步人士以压倒性的优势当上了市长，震惊了纽约市的精英阶层。Bill de Blasio（比尔德布莱西奥）承诺结束“双城记”，这一承诺在仍在努力从大萧条中复苏的普通居民中引起了共鸣。
De Blasio的当选预示着纽约迎来了几代以来最进步的市政府。自从20世纪30年代传奇人物Fiorello La Guardia有如此多的民粹主义候选人同时占据了政府职位之后，就再没有发生过这样的事。换句话说，高谭市突然以其人民的名义被收回了。
这是怎么回事？著名记者Juan González认为，De Blasio的胜利不仅仅是一次例行的政府更迭，也是一场民众反抗数十年来占据纽约主导地位的企业友好型政策的运动……新一代的市政领导人为那些寻求基层改革的人提供了宝贵的经验教训。（LYR）

Praise for Reclaiming Gotham:
"A leading Latino journalist looks at the left-populist uprising that brought Bill de Blasio into the New York mayor’s office and sharpened the nation’s blue-red divide. . . . Urban activists in other cities have much to learn from New York’s experience, and González’s book makes a good place to start."—Kirkus Reviews
"The future is never charted in Washington. The future always begins at the grassroots, in our great cities. Our ablest chronicler of urban affairs, Juan González, has with Reclaiming Gotham produced the essential book on today’s American politics—and, more importantly, on the next American politics. This is a visionary book that begins in New York and takes us to cities across the United States. Brilliantly reported, intensely honest, Reclaiming Gotham goes to the heart of the city and finds what the finest reporters always uncover there: struggle, courage, and, above all, hope."—John Nichols, The Nation
"Juan González, whose radical light has never dimmed, is simply one of the greatest urban reporters of our time. Here he tells the story of Bill de Blasio’s hopeful, if often lurching, crusade to turn America’s richest metropolis into a city with equity for all."
—Tom Robbins, investigative journalist in residence at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, winner of the 2016 Hillman Prize for Newspaper Journalist and 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Investigative Reporting
