- Title
Set the Night on Fire: L.A. in the Sixties.
- Abstract
The Los Angeles that Davis and Wiener forensically detail was a city of contradiction, division and segregation. In I Set the Night on Fire i , Mike Davis and Jon Wiener provide an intimate portrait of Los Angeles which chronicles an era of revolutionary activism where the seeds of change were sown not only in the city itself but across the United States. Davis and Wiener remedy the past ignorance of historical Black, Brown, Queer and youthful voices by reconstructing their triumphs and defeats as they fought for healthcare, education, housing, and racial and sexual liberation, helping to transform Los Angeles and beyond.
