Literature and Race in Los Angeles

Klappentext This is a study of the treatment of the city! specifically LA! in contemporary writing. Zusammenfassung Los Angeles is the most fragmented and the most minoritized metropolis in America! and its most luridly abstract and aestheticised city. Literature and Race in Los Angeles is the first full-length attempt to think through some of the representational contradictions inherent in literary production in this city! and contemporary America at large.
