While most historians, journalists, and filmmakers have focused on Los Angeles as a bastion of corporate greed, business boosterism, political corruption, cheap labor, exploited immigrants, and unregulated sprawl, "The Next Los Angeles" tells a different story: that of the reformers and radicals who have struggled for alternative visions of social and economic justice. In a new preface, the authors reflect on the gathering momentum of L.A.'s progressive movement, including the 2005 landslide victory of Antonio Villaraigosa as mayor.

Recensioner i media

"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"
