Bigger Than Bernie: How We Can Win Democratic Socialism In Our Time by Meagan Day and Micah Uetricht (Verso 2020)
A book about Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns, the political lineage he represents, the movement he revitalized, and strategies for reestablishing an economic left presence in American political life.
“Day and Uetricht are two of the most brilliant and courageous intellectuals of the Sanders movement. This indispensable book is a powerful, pioneering analysis of these new radical times and a compelling vision of where it all might be going” — Cornel West
“An indispensable guide to twenty-first-century socialism from the viewpoint of clear-eyed, sharp-witted, smart, funny authors … They give me hope!” — Jane McAlevey
An exhilarating account of what we’ll be doing in the coming years. Anyone who thinks, with dread or relief, that the work comes to an end after Election Day in 2020 will think again. I’m going to keep coming back to them and their book.” — Corey Robin
Maximum Sunlight by Meagan Day with photos by Hannah Klein (E.M. Wolfman, 2016)
A creative nonfiction book about an eccentric desert town in remote rural Nevada called Tonopah, told through traditional reportage and vivid character studies, capturing the idiosyncrasies of the American hinterland on the eve of the Trump era.
“Maximum Sunlight is a long piece of investigative journalism and a short, intimate work of nonfiction. Day’s writing is observant and respectful, rooted in her personal experience. She moves, sometimes uncomfortably, in the proximity of strangers, revealing her thoughts in the moment and her reflections afterward. She shares doubts about her professionalism, analyzes her prejudices, confesses her fears. She never denies her assumptions, but she also doesn’t trust them. Her book is propelled by curiosity — about herself as much as others.” — The Los Angeles Review of Books
