Items related to The Next Los Angeles: The Struggle for a Livable City
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.

"A rare book combining history, analysis, strategy and a platform – and it may well be carried out in this decade."―Tom Hayden, former State Senator, Los Angeles
