Laura Pulido traces the roots of third world radicalism in Southern California during the 1960s and 1970s in this accessible; wonderfully illustrated comparative study. Focusing on the Black Panther Party; El Centro de Acción Social y Autonomo (CASA); and East Wind; a Japanese American collective; she explores how these African American; Chicana/o; and Japanese American groups sought to realize their ideas about race and class; gender relations; and multiracial alliances. Based on thorough research as well as extensive interviews; Black; Brown; Yellow; and Left explores the differences and similarities between these organizations; the strengths and weaknesses of the third world left as a whole; and the ways that differential racialization led to distinct forms of radical politics. Pulido provides a masterly; nuanced analysis of complex political events; organizations; and experiences. She gives special prominence to multiracial activism and includes an engaging account of where the activists are today; together with a consideration of the implications for contemporary social justice organizing.
