Bernie's Brooklyn
Angebote / Angebote:
Although Bernie Sanders often invokes FDR and the New Deal, and mentions growing up in Brooklyn, he doesn't fully explain the connection between the two. Bernie's Brooklyn brings to life the politics and culture of the New Deal's capital city. In addition to FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt and Fiorello La Guardia were the era's leading political figures, meanwhile, Jackie Robinson, Arthur Miller, and Woody Guthrie made mid-century Brooklyn the capital of American culture. Many of the "radical" policies Bernie advocates today -e.g. free college, rent control, a Green New Deal-were the norm in mid-century New York City. In addition, Bernie's integrationist egalitarian vision is a product of the Brooklyn in which he was raised.
