A People's Guide to Los Angeles (University of California Press)
"Forget the stars' map of Hollywood: this is the real trip through an
L.A. history of militant strikers, civil rights activists, and
unforgettable feminists. A tour de force of imagination and memory."
--Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los
Angeles
"A People's Guide brings the reader to the Los Angeles I
know and love. The amazingly diverse, vibrant, gritty LA filled with
history and struggle. Finally, here's a guidebook that takes visitors to
the places and people that make me proud to call Los Angeles my home."
--Madeline Janis, Executive Director, Los Angeles Alliance for a New
Economy (LAANE)
