An excerpt from Inland Shift. In the book I argue that social movement organizing and not just changing racial demographics will alter the direction of politics in Southern California:
"I want to debunk a prevalent notion that inland Southern California’s changing demographics will alter its political destiny. Changing demographics may provide fertile ground for change, but the work of cultivating and nourishing the seeds of change will require more. The types of changes I have outlined here require an intentional political strategy, not simply a transition from one racial political regime to another."
