A New Democratic Party
The Comeback of the Left
Edited by Martin Lukacs
Can the NDP become a vehicle for transformative politics again?
In the wake of Avi Lewis’s breakthrough leadership victory, political figures debate the possibilities—and challenges—of charting a bold direction for the party.
The book features wide-ranging interviews with former and current parliamentarians Matthew Green and Leah Gazan, feminist activist Judy Rebick, historian Ian McKay, and NDP leader Avi Lewis conducted by journalists Desmond Cole, Martin Lukacs, and Luke Savage.
Their conversations critique the party’s record of caution and compromise while making the case for a militant alliance with social movements, labour unions, and a diverse working class. They discuss the outlines of a popular left-wing agenda capable of taking on corporate power, establishment liberalism, and the reactionary right.
This collection is essential reading on a new political force in Canada and the necessity of a democratic socialist revival.
