A People's Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area
The Institute for Metropolitan Studies welcomes Rachel Brahinsky and Alexander Tarr to present their new radical guidebook to the Bay Area. The authors highlight cultural and economic landscapes as well as rich political legacies, including indigenous resistance to colonial rule, interracial and cross-class organizing, and the often unrecognized labor of farmworkers and everyday people. Join us for a conversation about this important new book that counters romanticized narratives about San Francisco and Silicon Valley and turns the focus to the places where collective struggle has built our region.
