On today’s program Nomiki Konst speaks with Dr. Manuel Pastor about the news that Beto O’Rourke is jumping in the 2022 race for Governor of Texas. The Latino voting bloc in Texas is huge, and after swings towards Republicans not just statewide but nationwide, including in the most recent elections--what lessons have Democrats learned, and what can they do to keep the Latino vote swinging in their direction?
Dr. Manuel Pastor is a Distinguished Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity. He is the Director of USC’s Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE), as well as the Director of USC’s Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration (CSII). “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.”
He is the author of State Resistance: What California’s Dizzying Descent and Remarkable Resurgence Means for America’s Future and Equity, Growth, and Community: What the Nation Can Learn from America’s Metro Areas.
His other books include Just Growth: Inclusion and Prosperity in America’s Metropolitan Regions; Uncommon Common Ground: Race and America’s Future; This Could Be the Start of Something Big: How Social Movements for Regional Equity are Transforming Metropolitan America; Staircases or Treadmills: Labor Market Intermediaries and Economic Opportunity in a Changing Economy; and Regions That Work: How Cities and Suburbs Can Grow Together.
