DESCRIPTION:Michael Goldstein reads from his recent book, Return of the Light: A 
 Political Fable in Which the American People Retake Their 
 Country.\n\nAuthor and lecturer Michael Parenti hails the book as 
 “clearly written, hopeful and useful for those interested in building a 
 real democracy.”  Don Hazen, Executive Editor of Alternet, notes that it 
 “catalogues the failures of consumer capitalism and the future solutions, 
 at the same time and place — a very encouraging read, in a time of little 
 optimism.” Other endorsers: Michael Lerner, Wes "Scoop" Nisker, Wavy 
 Gravy.\n\nIt is the night of the Winter Solstice in 2120. At one of 
 thousands of community gatherings across the United States, a storyteller 
 does the annual retelling of how, back in 2023, a decade-long movement 
 culminated in the people taking over their own government, making it a 
 means for mobilizing their collective power to promote peace, social 
 justice, environmental responsibility, and a society hospitable to the 
 needs of the human spirit.\n\nPart vision of the road forward for today's 
 concerned citizens, part organizing tool, Return of the Light is a 
 wonderful source of hope and inspiration.\n\nGoldstein blogs in the 
 Huffington Post and at michaelgoldstein.us, focusing on the need to move 
 beyond the teeter-totter of the two-party system and the means to do so. He 
 works as a mediator and a lawyer doing death-penalty and other 
 court-appointed appeals.\n
