Product Description
Using his background in cultural history and literature, David Wyatt focuses this history of his native state on five events that swept through California, altering its physical and political landscape and the way both were represented in art and literature. Beginning with the accidental importation of the Spanish wild oat in the 1970's, the book goes on to explore the impact of the Gold Rush, the 1906 earthquake and fire, the post-World War II economic boom, and the "fire of race" that erupted in Watts in 1965 and still burns today.
