From women’s suffrage to Civil Rights for African Americans, to
the environment, and the gay and lesbian liberation movement, the
American Left has achieved notable successes in the 20th and 21st
centuries. Sometimes celebrated and sometimes reviled, the Left has
taken on many forms and reinvented itself many times over the past
century. In All-American Rebellion, historian Robert Cottrell
traces the rise and fall, ebb and flow of left-wing American
movements. Following an overview of early 20th century movements,
Cottrell focuses on the 1960s to today, offering readers a concise
introduction and helping them to understand the political and
ideological roots of the Left today. Cottrell includes chapters on
the most recent versions of the American left, discussing community
organizing, gay liberation, the women’s movement, the Campaign
for Economic Democracy, the nuclear freeze movement, opposition to
U.S. intervention in Central America, the anti-WTO campaign, Code
Pink, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and more. The
demand for and support of democracy and the quest for empowerment
in various guises unifies these different lefts to one another and
to the general unfolding of American history. Cottrell argues that
democratic engagement has proven inconsistent and at times outright
contradictory. The Left has been most successful when it fully
embraces a democratic vision.
