Los Angeles Times BestsellerThis riveting tour through 1960s Los Angeles is a history from below, in the very best sense as it celebrates the grassroots heroes and struggles of the social movements of the era (Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Natural Causes).Authoritative and impressive. Los Angeles TimesMonumental. GuardianLos Angeles in the sixties was a hotbed of political and social upheaval. The city was a launchpad for Black Powerwhere Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation. The city was home to the Chicano Blowouts and Chicano Moratorium, as well as being the birthplace of Asian American as a political identity. It was a locus of the antiwar movement, gay liberation movement, and womens movement, and, of course, the capital of California counterculture.Mike Davis and Jon Wiener provide the first comprehensive movement history of L.A. in the sixties, drawing on extensive archival research and dozens of interviews with principal figures, as well as the authors storied personal histories as activists. Following on from Daviss awardwinning L.A. history, City of Quartz, Set the Night on Fire is a historical tour de force, delivered in scintillating and fiercely beautiful prose.
