Timothy Shenk at Book Culture

A rivalry that remade the political world as we know it today. Can Kamala Harris energize the Democratic Party to once again become the party of the working class? In Left Adrift, historian Timothy Shenk provides a new perspective on the transformation of the left over the last 50 years, offering compelling insight into the recent history of the Democratic Party, and, on the eve of a major US election, a look towards its future.

“If the Trump Era were a television series like Game of Thrones, Left Adrift would be the fascinating prequel. Timothy Shenk has written a riveting portrait of the moment when the subterranean plates of American politics began to shift. No one else has told this story, and it’s compelling, entertaining, and important.” —Stuart Stevens, political consultant and author of It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump

Timothy Shenk will be in conversation with Andrew Delbanco, Alexander Hamilton Professor of American Studies at Columbia University and president of the Teagle Foundation.
