“This 3-part series is a MUST LISTEN for anyone wanting to learn more about the social, political, and economic factors underpinning California’s political transformation into the progressive powerhouse that is leading the Trump resistance. Gustavo Arellano, an expert on Latinos in California, is a brilliant journalist who provides new insights into the various factions—nativists, republican operatives, and OC political consultants—who capitalized on feelings of racial threat to get Prop 187 on the ballot in a time of rapid demographic change and economic decline. Arellano chronicles how Gov. Pete Wilson’s re-election, won via a racist and nativist campaign, was a Pyrrhic victory that ended his long political career and republican power in the Golden State. Arellano also incorporates interviews with Latino/a journalists, activists, and elected officials to demonstrate the lasting effect that Prop 187 has had on Latino/as in the Golden State and how the racist Prop 187 transformed the state into what is today via activism and electoral politics. Filled with Easter eggs for those who grew up in Orange County, LA, or California during this era, this podcast brings thoughtful nuance and important new details to the Prop 187 legacy and serves as a window into the current battle for the soul of our nation.”

“Very well put together, the interview with the couple was interesting, to this date they claim race is not the issue. It always has been, thanks to Trump to expose all of the closest nativists.
We keep electing Chicano/POC to the Assembly and Senate, the GOP is irrelevant, thanks for the podcast!”
