Matt Gonzalez and beyond!,
By wildflowerboy (planet earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Political Edge (Paperback)
This book is a colorful account of the various cultural and political dynamics behind the popular mobilization in San Francisco to elect Green Party underdog Matt Gonzalez for mayor. While I'm generally not so interested in electoral politics, I nevertheless found this book to be extremely fascinating and thought-provoking, highlighting the many possibilities and limitations of the electoral process. It also provides a good warning of what the progressive left is up against, not only from the far right but from the Democratic party. Included are some excellent essays about Gay Shame, Punks Against War, Critical Mass and local efforts to stop gentrification. The essays by Michelle Tea and Mattilda Bernstein were especially fun. Overall, this book is a wonderful introduction to the future of urban politics in this country.
