I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. Important and influential without beating you over the head or boring you to death. Matter of fact, this book has inspired my next project. I'll be assigning it to my summer research assistants. Thanks, mujeres!

Where else could I learn about where the old Black Panther headquarters are, the history of WeHo's Gay Pride parade and the location of the largest Tongva village (strangely enough that is located directly under City Hall)?

I liked this book for the same reasons I disliked it: objectivity and brevity. For the sake of a historical guidebook, it had to be both things. There is a lot of information in here and I'm sure the breadth could be doubled since LA has a long history but what's in there is useful for current understanding of LA's social+political+ethnic landscape.
