The Greens and the Politics of Transformation

[From back cover] This book is a magnificent addition to the small shelf of.quality materials available about the Greensâand most particularly about the history of the movement and party in the United States. It adds a much needed component to the diagnosis of present ills, plus a summary of the Green vision, namely a detailed analysis of seven years of Green organizing. The author's grasp of the difficulties (and some triumphs) that Greens have had in handling power, in decision-making, and in wrestling with questions about fundraising, media relations, and electoral work are right on target. And indeed they should be, since Rensenbrink has been a key actor in the movement. I will have no hesitation in recommending it to fellow activists since, detailed as the writing is, it is blessedly free from jargon, ponderous disclaimers, and other signs of academic self-indulgence. Includes bibliography and Index.
