What is the working class people's history of California?

On the next Your Call, we'll rebroadcast a conversation we had with Lawrence Shoup, author of Rulers & Rebels: A People's History of Early California, 1769-1901. What is the history of California's Indians, the working poor, unions, and immigrants? He tells stories of chilling brutality and tales of solidarity and determination. What are the differences and similarities to what we're facing today? What lessons can we learn from our history? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar.
