Event Description Join us to talk with Irish author Helena Sheehan about her new book "The Syriza Wave: Surging and Crashing with the Greek Left." A seasoned activist and participant observer, Helena Sheehan adroitly places us at the center of the whirlwind beginnings of Syriza, its jubilant victory at the polls, and finally at Syriza’s surrender to the very austerity measures it once vowed to annihilate.
Beginning as a strong Syriza supporter, Sheehan sees the party transformed from a horizon of hope to a vortex of despair. But out of the dust of defeat, she asks what we can learn from the Greek experience to help the left in Greece, the United States and beyond succeed as it renews resistance to austerity |
