Histories of the US sixties invariably focus on New York City, but
Los Angeles was an epicenter of that decade's political and social
earthquake. L.A. was a launchpad for Black Power-where Malcolm X
and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising
shook the nation-and home to the Chicano walkouts and Moratorium,
as well as birthplace of 'Asian America' as a political identity,
base of the antiwar movement, and of course, centre 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, scores of interviews with principal
figures of the 1960s movements, and personal histories (both Davis
and Wiener are native Los Angelenos). Following on from Davis's
award-winning L.A. history, City of Quartz, Set the Night on Fire
is a fascinating historical corrective, delivered in scintillating
and fiercely elegant prose.
