This volume focused almost exclusively on Los Angeles, with some forays into the Central Valley and San Francisco; the previous book was almost all about San Francisco. Kevin Starr deeply explores the idea of LA/Hollywood as a dreamy ideal, and how that evolved over time from the Mission Revival phase to the last chapters, about the beginnings of the movie industry and Hollywood. I was hoping for a somewhat different angle for research purposes--more specifics about physical changes and expansion--but it remained an intriguing read. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This second volume in Kevin Starr's passionate and ambitious cultural history of the Golden State focuses on the turn-of-the-century years and the emergence of Southern California as a regional culture in its own right. ""How hauntingly beautiful, how replete with lost possibilities, seems that Southern California of two and three generations ago, now that a dramatically different society has emerged in its place,"" writes Starr.
