Counterpointing Los Angeles's central role in America's fantasy
life - the city has been destroyed no less than 138 times in novels
and films since 1909 - with its wanton denial of its own real
history, Mike Davis creates a revelatory kaleidoscope of American
fact, imagery, and sensibility. Drawing upon a vast array of
sources, Ecology of Fear meticulously captures the nation's violent
malaise and desperate social unease in an era of climate change and
social change. With savagely entertaining wit and compassionate
rage, this book conducts a devastating reconnaissance of our
all-too-likely urban future. With a new 2021 afterword taking stock
of LA's 21st century.
