让我们看看会发生什么:布里斯托尔的最后市长

Marvin Rees | 2024 | ISBN: 1035009188 | English | 188 pages | ePUB | 1 MB

In 2016, Marvin Rees was elected as Mayor of Bristol, the first time a major European city had elected a mayor of Black African heritage. Re-elected in 2021, his eight-year tenure has taken the city through everything from Brexit to Covid, the cost of living crisis to the fall of the Colston statue. With the eyes of the world on Bristol, Rees navigated a high-stakes balancing act to keep the city together – all the while dealing with racist abuse and personal threats.

His rise to political leadership was anything but straightforward. The mixed-race son of a Jamaican father and white single mother, he grew up in a household where money was tight and opportunity lacking. He first found purpose in the boxing ring, then, while at university studying history and politics, he passed the interview board for the Royal Marines, but failed the medical. Instead of the armed forces, he joined an international development agency, before becoming a broadcast journalist at the BBC. However, politics beckoned and, after winning a place at Yale’s prestigious World Fellows Program for rising global leaders, he was selected as the Labour Party candidate for Bristol’s first mayoral election in 2012. And lost.

Let's See What Happens chronicles Marvin Rees’s fall and rise to political success – and how the failures along the way ultimately proved a blessing in what he learned about life. He describes both the challenges and opportunities he faced as a man and as mayor, helping his home city grow to national and international prominence.

Thoughtful, straight-talking, passionate, this is the fascinating story of one of the most charismatic leaders in British politics today.


2016年,马文·雷斯当选为布里斯托尔市市长,这是欧洲主要城市首次选举黑非洲血统的市长。他在2021年再次连任,8年的任期带领这座城市从脱欧到新冠疫情,从生活成本危机再到科尔斯顿雕像的倒塌经历了各种挑战。在全世界的目光注视下,雷斯成功地将这座城市的面貌转变成国际知名的城市,成功应对了种族主义攻击和人身威胁。

政治领导人的崛起并非一帆风顺。他是混血儿,父亲来自牙买加,母亲是单身白人女性,从小生活在一个经济拮据且机会匮乏的家庭中。他在大学学习历史和政治时,在皇家海军面试委员会通过了考核,但由于健康原因未能通过体检。他没有选择参军,而是加入了一家国际发展机构,之后成为BBC的广播记者。然而,政治让他无法抗拒,2012年在耶鲁大学世界领导者项目中获胜后,他被选为布里斯托尔首次市长选举中的工党的候选人,但失利了。

让我们看看发生了什么记录了马文·雷斯的政治成功之路——以及在一路上失败的经历最终证明对他来说是无价的。他在作为个人和市长所面临的各种挑战与机遇上做出了描述,帮助他家乡的城市走上了国家乃至国际舞台。

这是一个有趣的故事,讲述的是当今英国政治界最令人钦佩的领导人之一。
