""Black, Brown, Yellow, and Left "is unique. No other work deals in such detail with the complex relationships between racial nationalism and the radical left during the 1960's. A powerful and resonant achievement. Highly recommended!"--Howard Winant, author of "The World is a Ghetto: Race and Democracy Since World War II""Laura Pulido has written an invaluable study of the development of the multiracial Third World Left in southern California. She engages black, brown, and yellow radical activisms together, demonstrating how each vision differed but contributed to a movement that was ultimately more than the sum of its parts. Pulido's powerful excavation of the Third World Left's historical past provides reasons to hope for a more just, antiracist left future."--Lisa Lowe, author of Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics" We so greatly needed this panorama of information and analysis. Finally we have an author putting the pieces together with commitment, enthusiasm and a view to the future."--Elizabeth (Betita) Martinez, activist and author of" 500 Years of Chicano History/500 Anos del Pueblo Chicano"
