Review Quotes:

"This memoir recounts the pivotal, historic moment when the School of Ethnic Studies was established at San Francisco State University. It is a story both hopeful and sobering, giving uplifting testimony to the power of committed social action and yet reminding us of the stubborn persistence of structural inequality in society."

--WALTER ALLEN, Distinguished Professor of Education, Sociology and African American Studies, UCLA

"With the specter of cops and Billy clubs on horseback surrounding the campus perimeter at 19th and Holloway, while hundreds of chanting students marched around the circle of the quad still clear in my memory, this comprehensive and insightful chronology and analysis of the SF State Strikes does justice to our collective legacy."

-- GENNY LIM, Poet and Playwright for Paper Angels, co-author of Island: Poetry and History of Chinese Immigrants on Angel Island, and SF State alumna

"The author recounts the story in brilliant detail and with a passion that could only be communicated by someone who lived the experience and who shared the passions and determination of those who were catalysts. "

-- ROB SANTOS, Vice President & Chief Methodologist, The Urban Institute Washington DC

"Golden Children is a highly readable memoir that captures the zeitgeist of a brief moment in time, when the San Francisco Bay area was the epicenter of cultural change in America, and the ways that it reverberated and unfolded across America into the present."

-- C. MATTHEW SNIPP, Professor of Humanities and Sciences in the Department of Sociology, Stanford

"It makes me proud to at least have been on campus when we, SFSC, the ordinary, little people, the 99%--CHANGED AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION! It's time the world realizes that it was US--regular working class people, people from a variety of backgrounds--who made a change that still has an effect today. Big Boys, get out of the way! You can pay homage to the little people, because our change is lasting!"

--HELENE WHITSON, President, SF Lyric Chorus and Founder, SF Bay Area Choral Archive
