"Left Americana offers an open-minded overview of select experiences and thinkers in the context of "what is to be done" in America. Le Blanc does not seek or offer a formula; he simply asks that leftists think anew about what kind of revolutionary organization can overcome the global triumph of capitalism. How can an organization be thoroughly democratic yet disciplined enough to be successful without just replicating the authoritarian society it wishes to replace? What specific national factors must American radicals take into account? The only given in Le Blanc's view is that a viable American left must exemplify the values and governance of the new society it advocates." --International Socialist Review.
