  Dr. Manuel Pastor is Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. Founding director of the Center for Justice, Tolerance, and Community at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Pastor currently directs the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity at USC and co-directs USC’s Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. He holds an economics Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and has received fellowships from the Danforth, Guggenheim, and Kellogg foundations and grants from the Irvine Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the W.T. Grant Foundation, The California Endowment, the California Air Resources Board, and many others.

  Pastor’s research has generally focused on issues of the economic, environmental and social conditions facing low-income urban communities – and the social movements seeking to change those realities. His most recent book, Just Growth: Inclusion and Prosperity in America’s Metropolitan Regions, co-authored with Chris Benner (Routledge 2012), argues that growth and equity can and should be linked, offering a new path for a U.S. economy seeking to recover from economic crisis and distributional distress. Previous volumes include: Uncommon Common Ground: Race and America’s Future (W.W. Norton 2010; co-authored with Angela Glover Blackwell and Stewart Kwoh), which documents the gap between progress in racial attitudes and racial realities and offers a new set of strategies for both talking about race and achieving racial equity; This Could Be the Start of Something Big: How Social Movements for Regional Equity are Transforming Metropolitan America (Cornell University Press 2009; co-authored with Chris Benner and Martha Matsuoka) which highlights a promising set of organizing efforts across the U.S.; Staircases or Treadmills: Labor Market Intermediaries and Economic Opportunity in a Changing Economy (Russell Sage 2007, co-authored with Chris Benner and Laura Leete) which offers a critique of current employment strategies and argues for a new “high road” approach to connecting demand and supply in labor markets; and Regions That Work: How Cities and Suburbs Can Grow Together (University of Minnesota Press 2000; co-authored with Peter Dreier, Eugene Grigsby, and Marta Lopez-Garza), a book that has become a standard reference for those seeking to link neighborhoods and regions.

  Dr. Pastor speaks frequently on issues of demographic change, economic inequality, and community empowerment and has contributed opinion pieces to such outlets as the Los Angeles Times, the San Jose Mercury News, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Sacramento Bee, the Huffington Post, and many others. He served as a member of the Commission on Regions appointed by California’s Speaker of the State Assembly, and as a member of the Regional Targets Advisory Committee for the California Air Resources Board. In January 2002, he was awarded a Civic Entrepreneur of the Year award from the California Center for Regional Leadership in recognition of his work with metropolitan leaders, and in 2012, he was awarded the Wally Marks Changemaker of the Year award from the Liberty Hill Foundation in Los Angeles in recognition of his many research partnerships with social justice organizations.

  Tell us about the work that you do and how it is making a difference in your community.
  Much of the work that I do is actually on economic development and immigrant integration, but on the environmental side, we’ve worked with community-based organizations for years to both document environmental disparities and try to do something about them. We have worked to develop an environmental justice screening method to identify communities that are environmentally overexposed and socially vulnerable. That methodology has since been picked up by the state of California and turned into something called “CalEnviro Screen,” which is helping to guide state policy— particularly the allocation of cap and trade funds to less advantaged communities. We have also worked with community-based organizations to specifically verify which hazards are in their communities. All this work has helped feed into something called the “Clean up Green up” campaign in Los Angeles which has brought three low income environmental overexposed communities—Wilmington, Boyle Heights, and Pacoima—the special attention of the city in terms of cleaning up the environment and helping the businesses make an adjustment to cleaner production processes. One particular result of our contributions is that the California cap and trade program will be putting about $125-150 million into disadvantaged communities this year, and probably about at least twice as much in the year to come. So it feels really satisfying to get real money into peoples’ hands to improve their communities because these are the folks that have been dealing with some of the toughest environmental disparities and have a need for better transit, better housing, and a cleaner environment.
  Why do you think that the Latino community should be engaged in this issue?
  I think the Latino community is already engaged in this issue. In the last Public Policy Institute of California poll, 63% of Latinos said that they had very serious concerns about global warming, while only 43% of non-Hispanic whites evidenced the same level of concern. There is more that needs to be done in terms of engaging public processes, engaging officials, and so on. But overall, the level of concern is quite high and I think that the vehicles for engagement that community-based groups have developed are allowing for impacts on environmental justice debates, as well as climate impacts dialogue, in California and elsewhere. I think this is something that’s a pattern for the rest of the nation as well. The recent polling seems to suggest that Latinos actually do have major concerns about the environment and it’s a question of translating that into engagement.
  What would be your vision for your work 10 years from now?
  There are many parts of an environmental or environmental justice movement: There is the broad public, there are civic leaders, there are activists, and there are researchers who try to contribute to making policy change happen. Research is only one part— and likely a small part— of that ecosystem, but it’s important nonetheless. So from that vantage point, my hope is that in the next 10 years we have a flowering of new, engaged environmental justice researchers who are both technically proficient and also very engaged with community concerns.

  Dr. Manuel Pastor is Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California (USC). He currently directs the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) at USC and USC's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration (CSII). Working at the intersection of the academy and activism, he is the inaugural holder of the Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change at USC and was awarded the 2012 Wally Marks Changemaker of the Year award from Liberty Hill.
  One of his most recent books, Equity, Growth, and Community: What the Nation Can Learn from America's Metro Areas, co-authored with Chris Benner (UC Press 2015), argues how inequality stunts economic growth and how bringing together equity and growth requires concerted local action. His forthcoming book (April 2018), State of Resistance: What California’s Dizzying Descent and Remarkable Resurgence Mean for America’s Future, looks at the experience of the Golden State over the last five decades; arguing that "California is America fast forward", he draws lessons from structural changes and movement organizing in California to suggest some positive possibilities going forward.

  Pastor’s research has generally focused on issues of the economic, environmental and social conditions facing low-income urban communities – and the social movements seeking to change those realities. His current research culminates in the release of his forthcoming book, State of Resistance: What California's Dizzying Descent and Remarkable Resurgence Means for America's Future, in April 2018.
  Pastor's recent book, Equity, Growth, and Community: What the Nation Can Learn from America's Metro Areas, co-authored with Chris Benner (UC Press 2015), argues how inequality stunts economic growth and how bringing together equity and growth requires concerted local action. Combining data, case studies, and narratives on multi-sector collaborations in 11 metro regions, the book offers a powerful prescription not just for metros but for our national challenges of slow job growth, rising economic inequality, and sharp political polarization. He also co-edited the book, Unsettled Americans: Metropolitan Context and Civic Leadership for Immigrant Integration with John Mollenkopf (Cornell University Press 2016), which offers a comparative study and detailed analyses of immigrant incorporation efforts across seven different U.S. metro regions.

ISBN 978-1-62097-329-5
This slim, densely packed volume covers a great deal of material, tracing the decline of California's mid-century prosperity and the state's eventual rebound from divisive policies and politics. Pastor, a sociologist, blames the decline on Proposition 13, the 1978 property-tax-limitation measure he then feared would "shipwreck the state"--and still feels had a disastrous effect. He gives an opinionated, liberal-minded history of how Prop 13 and other voter initiatives have affected California, emphasizing the unraveling of the social compact that had accommodated a diverse, immigrant-heavy population and a relatively low degree of inequality. The book locates the state's political nadir, in terms of its embrace of reactionary politics, in 2003 with the election to governor of Arnold Schwarzenegger, a celebrity with no political experience peddling populist solutions. After that point, Pastor earnestly tracks the state's renaissance. The story he relates isn't so much a triumph of liberal political leadership and increased public spending that followed Schwarzenegger's administration, but rather a long, methodical series of inclusionary changes in business, demographics, and representative participation. The author holds out a reasonable promise that his state's experience could inform the next swing of the national political pendulum. Like-minded readers will find this claim heartening. (Apr.)

Pastor, University of Southern California professor and author of Unsettled Americans: Metropolitan Context and Civic Leadership for Immigrant Integration (2016), considers California's political history and the lessons that can be drawn from it on issues like immigration, socioeconomic policies, and labor reform. Citing statistics, government reports, and local newspapers, Pastor traces and analyzes the various factors, movements, and trends in California's decline and growth from the 1950s up to the present day. Pastor includes a broad swath of information and covers the impacts of both conservative and liberal policies on the state's transformation. Pastor writes clearly and thoughtfully, but readers will need time to read and reflect on his arguments in this academic-leaning text. 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.--Raymond Pun

  STATE OF RESISTANCE
  What California’s Dizzying Descent and Remarkable Resurgence Mean for America’s Future
  By Manuel Pastor
  277 pp. The New Press. $26.99.
  For a few decades after World War II, California seemed a showcase of what America could and would become. From Hollywood, Disneyland and the Beach Boys’ surf cities, its pop culture radiated eastward across the continent, and beyond. Its freeways and sprawling suburbs seemed to represent the new American residential model. Its ambitions for public parks and education were stupendous. Within a five-year early-1960s span during the sun-king administration of Gov. Pat Brown, father of the current Gov. Jerry Brown, the University of California system opened three new campuses: at San Diego, Irvine and Santa Cruz, all now major research centers.
  In its promise of fresh starts and new opportunities, California was to the rest of the country what America, in its best version, was to the world. The booming economy, sunny (and not yet smog-drenched) skies, and shiny new schools and roads drew millions of new residents to the state after World War II (including my own parents, who moved from suburban Philadelphia, where they grew up, to the Inland Empire of Southern California, where they raised my siblings and me). Kevin Starr, who as state librarian became California’s most influential chronicler, signaled the state’s symbolic role by calling his multivolume history “Americans and the California Dream.”
  Then came the long slide of discontent and dysfunction and decline. Racial unrest, police violence, multiple tax revolts, a state government increasingly hamstrung by “reform” measures from the early 20th century that had turned into sources of paralysis — all of these fed a sense of promise gone bad. In the early 1990s, California suffered an outsize share of the nationwide job loss that was the basis for Bill Clinton’s “It’s the economy, stupid” 1992 campaign. As Manuel Pastor points out in “State of Resistance,” half of all American job losses in those years were in California alone. Into the 2000s, the leading assessments of the state’s condition had titles like “Paradise Lost,” by Peter Schrag, and “The California Crackup,” by Joe Mathews and Mark Paul. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who became governor in 2003 after the luckless Gray Davis was kicked out in a recall vote, ended his term in 2011 with the budget in enormous deficit. Around that time Starr said that his homeland was on the verge of becoming “the first failed state in America.”

  Less than 10 years later, California still has serious problems, but over all its prospect is the envy of most other states. Its success is uneven and, in Pastor’s term, “tentative,” with obvious challenges that range from class-based inequities in its richest cities to environmental sustainability for the state as a whole. But Schwarzenegger’s successor, Jerry Brown, will end his fourth and final term as governor with a large budget surplus. (His four terms have not been consecutive: Brown was, famously, also Ronald Reagan’s successor as governor more than 40 years ago.) One American in eight now lives in California, and it accounts for a larger share than that of the country’s output, innovation, job creation and wealth. While other state legislatures fight to retain gerrymandered political maps and enact voter-suppression schemes, California took the lead (under Schwarzenegger) in getting rid of gerrymanders, a movement Schwarzenegger himself is now trying to extend across the country.
  California has of course also become the Democratic Party’s most important stronghold. In 2016 Hillary Clinton carried California by well over four million votes — and ran behind Donald Trump by more than a million in all the other states combined. This distinct political identity naturally feeds the impression, among progressive admirers and conservative critics alike, of California as a realm apart. So do the declarations by Brown and his attorney general, Xavier Becerra, of their commitment to environmental and immigration policies at odds with Trump’s.

  Positions like these amount to the “State of Resistance” of Pastor’s title, but the book’s argument is actually the opposite of what “resistance” might imply. Instead, Pastor, a sociologist at the University of Southern California, suggests that at just the moment California seems most out of sync with national trends, it is in fact regaining its role as bellwether and pioneer. “The country needs resistance to be sure,” he writes, “but it also needs a vision of what America can become.” In his book, which is concise, clear and convincing, he contends that the redemptive arc of modern California’s history offers both cautionary and constructive guidance on a vision for the country as a whole.
  Pastor sets out his story in three acts — rise, fall, recovery — each of which offers surprising insights for readers outside the state (and many inside as well). In describing the post-World War II years of expansion, which took place under governors of both parties, he emphasizes how heavily they involved public spending and investment — roads, schools, parks, both advanced research universities and numerous community colleges — and how much they shared a goal of preparing the state for new arrivals and future citizens. “California in the 1950s and 1960s was precisely the sort of demonstration project for an active government that many conservatives seem to fear at a national level,” he writes. “The real secret to California’s once and future success was exactly its agreement on a social compact in which the public and private sectors worked to create paths upward for both those who were in the state and those who were to come.”
  The unhappy decline that constituted the second act was, in Pastor’s view, an uncannily precise preview of the economic, social and political discontents that now embitter our national politics. Deindustrialization hit California as hard in the 1980s as it hit any place in the Midwest. (Forty percent of the lost American manufacturing jobs in the early 1990s were in this one state.) Ethnic change was much more rapid. Pastor points out that between 1970 and 1990, the share of California’s population that was foreign-born rose from 9 percent to 22 percent. This was distinctly different from the rest of the country, where the foreign-born share rose in the same period from around 4 percent to just over 6 percent, and it led to what Pastor calls the “racial generation gap.” That is, a politically and economically powerful older generation, mainly white, resisted paying taxes to build schools and parks for a younger generation that was mainly nonwhite.

  The result, Pastor says, was a several-decade escalation in the politics of fear, austerity and resentment, which harmed the state while also driving the California Republican Party further right, and eventually out of power. From Reagan through Schwarzenegger (with the exception of Jerry Brown), Republicans dominated the governorship of California. Now Republicans hold no statewide office at all. Of California’s 53 congressional seats, only 14 are in Republican hands, a number almost certain to go down after this year’s midterm elections.
  Then we have the recent years of recovery, about which many reports (including some I have written) emphasize the savvy of Brown and his team. Pastor stresses instead two structural favors. One was a return to the collaborative public-private ventures, with an emphasis on long-term investment, that marked the state in its highest-growth years. Even today’s center of extreme private wealth, the Bay Area tech industry, illustrates the point, Pastor says. Its leaders recognize that they and the state rise or fall together. Because they “often see themselves in a sort of collective ecosystem that allows for individual success,” within this zone of hyper-capitalism “there has been a sense, now somewhat eroded by growing internationalization, of business responsibility for stewarding the region.”
  The other factor in the modern rise, he emphasizes, is on-the-ground social movements: by labor unions, by immigrants and immigrant-rights advocates, by students, by Latino or African-American groups, and by others determined to offset corporate power with their organized voting and protest strength. Pastor is an academic sociologist, and this part of his book is written more in sociologese than the rest, including its extensive discussion of “intersectionality,” the overlapping effects of barriers of race, gender, class and other inequalities. But it ends with a list of practical lessons that can be drawn from California’s recent history to the national politics of coming years. One of these involves appreciating the geographical breadth a progressive movement can have. In California terms, this has meant fielding candidates and motivating voters in the conservative inland regions as well as along the coast. The national counterpart would be Democrats contesting races even where they seem to have no chance. Another lesson suggests progressive groups build alliances with business leaders, as in Silicon Valley.
  “America now looks like California at its lowest point,” Pastor says. He offers a guide to a possible path back up.

  KIRKUS REVIEW

  A look at the recent history of California and what it may mean for the future of the United States.
  Presenting both a broad overview and also a series of sharply specific deep dives, Pastor (Sociology/Univ. of Southern California; co-author: Equity, Growth, and Community: What the Nation Can Learn from America's Metro Areas, 2015, etc.) traces the story of California since the 1950s, making a compelling case that the state’s revival over the last decade or so offers a road map for America in the age of Trump. It’s a landscape the author knows intimately; at USC, he co-directs the University’s Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. Here, he develops a multifaceted argument: that California’s growth and prosperity was a direct result of forward-looking policies, including free higher education and vast infrastructure projects; that its decline, growing out of the economic insecurities of the 1980s and 1990s, was triggered by xenophobia and protectionism; and that its restoration is the product of progressive political alliances that have made the state a model for national resistance. It’s a lot to pack into roughly 200 pages (minus notes), but Pastor pulls it off. He is a knowledgeable guide who writes with fluid authority that is accessible but detailed. Furthermore, his book is no facile defense of exceptionalism but rather a nuanced examination of both the state’s complicity in pioneering various destructive policies (reckless tax cutting, anti-immigrant efforts at the ballot box) and its emergence, in the aftermath, as a new political and social landscape, intersectional and built from the grass roots up. “Can the rest of the United States learn from the California story?” Pastor wonders. “The Golden State has its own peculiar history and there is no one size fits all….But no matter how the message may be received, Californians have a special responsibility to communicate what they have learned.”

  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.
