The Next Los Angeles
The Struggle for a Livable City
By Robert Gottlieb, Mark Vallianatos, Regina M. Freer, and Peter Dreier
UC Press | 2005

"At its most lively, this book provides an intelligent insider's account of the construction of 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. But the book offers readers more, including details of a grassroots-driving progressive agenda and a revealing social and political history. . . .The authors don't shy away from discussing problems and challenges. . . .A good starting point for any serious student of forward-looking municipal politics."--James Goodno, San Francisco Chronicle
