Los Angeles is a city which has long thrived on the continual
re-creation of own myth. In this extraordinary and original work,
Norman Klein examines the process of memory erasure in LA. Using a
provocative mixture of fact and fiction, the book takes us on an
'anti-tour' of downtown LA, examines life for Vietnamese immigrants
in the City of Dreams, imagines Walter Benjamin as a Los Angeleno,
and finally looks at the way information technology has recreated
the city, turning cyberspace into the last suburb. In this new
edition, Norman Klein examines new models for erasure in LA. He
explores the evolution of the Latino majority, how the Pacific
economy is changing the structure of urban life, the impact of
collapsing infrastructure in the city, and the restructuring of
those very districts that had been 'forgotten'.
