Davis History & Santa Cruz History
In their new book, The Leftmost City, Richard Gendron and William Domhoff chronicle the several decades over which a progressive coalition in Santa Cruz, CA has contested real estate and development interests with some success.
This book is relevant to Davis history in providing a contrast case that shows how, in comparative terms, Davis' period of progressive politics was both quite short and rather weak. For more information, see Folder 6, "New Book Notes," to the left on this page. J. L.
