It is the story of a hidden corner of Los Angeles, where the personal first became the political, where the nation's first enduring gay rights movement emerged, and where the broad spectrum of what we now think of as identity politics was born. Portraying life over a period of more than forty years in the hilly enclave of Edendale, near downtown Los Angeles, Daniel Hurewitz considers the work of painters and printmakers, looks inside the Communist Party's intimate cultural scene, and examines the social world of gay men. In this vividly written narrative, he discovers why and how these communities, inspiring both one another and the city as a whole, transformed American notions of political identity with their ideas about self-expression, political engagement, and race relations. \u003ci\u003eBohemian Los Angeles, \u003c\/i\u003e incorporating fascinating oral histories, personal letters, police records, and rare photographs, shifts our focus from gay and bohemian New York to the west coast with significant implications for twentieth-century U.S. history and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Hurewitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.32w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520256231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Hurewitz \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of History at Hunter College, City University of New York, and author of \u003ci\u003eStepping Out: Nine Walks through New York's Gay and Lesbian Past. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40521519399027,"sku":"9.78052E+12","price":42.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_e20cdfc6-359c-465d-9e01-407345eeabdb.jpg?v=1666099878","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/bohemian-los-angeles-and-the-making-of-modern-politics-9780520256231","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
