The Next Los Angeles: The Struggle for a Livable City
"With this rich account of its community and labor struggles, the city of angels - and apocalypse - becomes the city of hope." - Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed "This wonderful book is proof that the American Left is alive and well, especially in Southern California." - Mike Davis, author of Dead Cities "An intelligent insider's account of the construction of the Progressive Los Angeles Network, or PLAN, and the emergence of a powerful labor-Latino bloc that provides progressive L.A. with much of its heart and soul.... A good starting point for any serious student of forward-looking municipal politics." - James Goodno, San Francisco Chronicle "Far and away the best single book for understanding the politics of Los Angeles." - Randy Shaw, Beyondchron.org"
