"The essays all merit individual reviews, which is not possible, but it is just as well because they should be read as one. Highly recommended." CHOICE "Exceeds [its] categories and adds to an emerging corpus of comparative knowledge ... the book shows what interdisciplinary scholarship can do for America's understanding of itself, especially when it comes to culturally promiscuous, ethnically heterogeneous megapolises like LA." -- Ryan Boyd The Los Angeles Review
