Review

Praise for State of Resistance:
In his book, which is concise, clear and convincing, [Manuel Pastor] contends that the redemptive arc of modern Californias history offers both cautionary and constructive guidance on a vision for the country as a whole. Pastor sets out his story in three actsrise, fall, and recoveryeach of which offers surprising insights for readers outside the state (and many inside as well). America now looks like California at its lowest point,' Pastor says. He offers a guide to a possible path back up.
James Fallows, The New York Times Book Review

Provocative and deftly argued, Pastor's book reminds us that the future is unwritten and that it always has deep roots in, and connections to, the past.
Kirkus Reviews

[A] slim, densely packed volume covers a great deal of material, tracing the decline of Californias midcentury prosperity and the states eventual rebound from divisive policies and politics.
Publisher Weekly

Readers interested in U.S. social and political economy at the state and local levels will find this a deeply engaging look at the sociopolitical landscape of the Golden State, and what it means for the rest of America.
Booklist

We should never underestimate what we can learn from history. Skilled storyteller and trusted movement educator Manuel Pastor gives us a unique view of recent California history and reveals a hopeful way forward for the whole country. Everyone who's concerned about our nation's current direction should read this bookfor insight and inspiration.
Ai-jen Poo, director, National Domestic Workers Alliance

The story of California's rise, fall, and resurgence is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the state built a prosperous post-war economy, retreated from the American Dream in favor of race-baiting public policy in the face of changing demographics, then regained its promise with the leadership of communities of color. No one knows more about social movements than Dr. Pastor. He lets us see under the hood of so-called 'protest movements' to the sophisticated, multi-pronged strategy, developed and executed by everyday people with the most at stake.
Rinku Sen, founder of Race Forward

In this fresh and insightful book, Manuel Pastor shows us that there is a way out of the political morass America finds itself inand that California has already cleared the path. From the pain of a shattered social compact to the power of investing in the shared future of a diverse population, California's recent history has important lessons to impart. . . . State of Resistance is not a call to arms but a call to reason.
Heather McGhee, president, Demos

Professor Pastor's remarkable new book serves as both a powerful history lesson and an insightful vision for the future of our country. Having worked in politics during the era of Donald Trump, I believe that State of Resistance paints a brilliant picture of how our generation can seize the opportunity to forge a more inclusive, just, and prosperous America for every family.
Neera Tanden, president and CEO, Center for American Progress

During a time of rising right-wing nationalism and Trumpism, State of Resistance gives us more than history, it gives us the shape our actions should take to build a more compassionate and inclusive society where people and the planet might thrive. This book is not just a call to action, it is also a call to hope.
john a. powell, director, Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society, UC Berkeley

Manuel Pastor thinks California is our future. I think he's right, if we survive to get there. But he's also got some useful guidance on how to make the trip.
Joel Rogers, director, Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS)
