Rebels, Reds, Radicals Rethinking Canada's Left History McKay, Ian Publisher:  Between the Lines, Canada Year Published:  2005   Resource Type:  Book Ian Mckay starts the book with an analysis of what we mean by the "left". He defines the left broadly to include anyone who understands the injustice of capitalism, the possibilty of democratic alternatives and the need for social transformation. He offers an historical approach based on the work of Antonio Gramsci- an approach he terms "reconnaissance. This would allow leftists to speak to one another across the many dialects of leftism that constitute our traditions. It would allow the left to encompass a greater diversity of people: religious and cultural figures, First Nations, visible minorities, feminists, environmentalists and Quebec nationalists amongst others. McKay writes with those who have struggled for a better world and invites us to go forward to make this a reality - the possibility of a post-liberal, post-capitalist democratic society.
