City of Industry

Genealogies of Power in Southern California

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Southern California suburb prophetically named City of Industry was founded in 1957. City of Industry is a stunning expose of the corporate privatization of California's redevelopment industry. Investigating an untapped archive of Industry's built landscape, media coverage, and public records, including sealed FBI reports, Victor Valle uncovers a cascading series of scandals. This suspenseful narrative gives the backstory of how new governmental technologies and engineering feats brought California to the brink of fiscal collapse.
