Beschreibung
Los Angeles is a city which has long thrived on the continual re-creation of its own myth.
In this extraordinary work, Norman Klein examines the process of memory erasure in LA.
Using a provocative mixture of fact and fiction, the book takes us on an "anti-tour" of
downtown LA, examines life for Vietnamese immigrants in the City of Dreams, imagines
Walter Benjamin as a Los Angeleno, and finally looks at the way information technology
has recreated the city, turning cyberspace into the last suburb. In this new edition, Norman
Klein explores the evolution of the Latino majority, how the Pacific economy is changing
the structure of urban life, the impact of collapsing infrastructure in the city, and the
restructuring of those very districts that had been "forgotten
