Beschreibung
David Rieff looks at a city that was long the epitome of the American Dream and is now, for many, the emblem of the American urban nightmare.
Writing before the riots of 1992, Rieff found not a city of dreams but a city of bitter contradictions. A city that, like the United States itself, was being transformed by immigrants and refugees from Latin America and East Asia from an extension of Europe to a diverse patchwork of the peoples of the world. This is an L.A. that has never been described before. With a new afterword.
