"City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles," by Mike Davis [Book Review].
Hunsaker, Alan
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v14 n4 p502-07 Nov 1992
Mike Davis's book presents a history and current sociology of Los Angeles from a socialist perspective, arguing that inequalities in the distribution of power and wealth underlie the area's serious, growing problems: ethnic fear and discrimination, social disinvestment and withdrawal by the "haves," and an epidemic of youth violence.
