A People's Guide to Los Angeles
A People's Guide to Los Angeles offers an assortment of
eye-opening alternatives to L.A.'s usual tourist destinations. It
documents 115 little-known sites in the City of Angels where
struggles related to race, class, gender, and sexuality have
occurred. They introduce us to people and events usually ignored
by mainstream media and, in the process, create a fresh history
of Los Angeles. Roughly dividing the city into six regions--North
Los Angeles, the Eastside and San Gabriel Valley, South Los
Angeles, Long Beach and the Harbor, the Westside, and the San
Fernando Valley--this illuminating guide shows how power operates
in the shaping of places, and how it remains embedded in the
landscape.
