San Francisco is an iconic and symbolic city. But only when you
look beyond the picture-postcards of the Golden Gate Bridge and the
quaint cable cars do you realise that the city's most interesting
stories are not the Summer of Love, the Beats or even the latest
gold rush in Silicon Valley.*BR**BR*Hidden San Francisco is a
guidebook like no other. Structured around the four major themes of
ecology, labour, transit and dissent, Chris Carlsson peels back the
layers of San Francisco's history to reveal a storied past: behind
old walls and gleaming glass facades lurk former industries, secret
music and poetry venues, forgotten terrorist bombings, and much
more. Carlsson delves into the Bay Area's long prehistory as well,
examining the region's geography and the lives of its inhabitants
before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything, setting in motion the
clash between capital and labour that shaped the modern
city.*BR**BR*From the perspective of the students and secretaries,
longshoremen and waitresses, Hidden San Francisco uncovers dozens
of overlooked, forgotten and buried histories that pulse through
the streets and hills even today, inviting the reader to see
themselves in the middle of the ongoing, everyday process of making
history together.
