A People's Guide to Los Angeles
A People's Guide to Los Angeles | Laura Pulido, Laura Barraclough, Wendy Cheng
1 post | 1 read
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.

I finally made it to one of my top bookish bucket list places, The Last Bookstore! It is amazing! Not only is it beautiful, but their selection of new and used books is fantastic! Everyone must go when in LA.
