Hello In These Times reader,
So, Americans elected a new president. But what does Obama's historic victory mean? In These Times editors David Sirota, Slavoj Zizek and David Moberg weigh in...
Mandate For Change. Obama must heed voters' message by thinking big, David Sirota writes in this cover story to In These Times' brand-new December issue.
Why Cynics Are Wrong. "The reason Obama’s victory generated such enthusiasm is not only the fact that, against all odds, it really happened, but that the possibility of such a thing to happen was demonstrated," Slavoj Zizek writes in this web-only column. "The same goes for all great historical ruptures."
Obama and the Union Vote. How did Obama do with white working-class voters? David Moberg reports.
The Roots of Obama's Field Campaign. Cesar Chavez and the farmworkers movement brought community organizing strategies into the electoral and legislative arena, writes Randy Shaw, author of the new book Beyond the Fields, in this web-only op-ed.
