The History of Forgetting: Los Angeles and the Erasure of Memory (Haymarket Series)
Editorial Reviews
Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, D. J. Waldie
Klein specifically asks us to imagine L.A. as the nation's largest, most expensive consumer product: a controlled, domesticated and anti-urban experience whose structures of politics and law enforcement, like the "backstage" tunnels under Disneyland, were kept out of the view of middle-class buyers. Klein provides a vocabulary for talking about the successively erased landscapes and lives the commodification of the Los Angeles experience required.
Journal of American History
Norman Klein is full of ideas, brilliant and beautifully expressed.
