The Anthropology of Los Angeles: Place and Agency in an Urban Setting questions the production and representations of L.A. by revealing the gray spaces between the real and imagined city. Contributors to this urban ethnography document hidden histories that connect daily actors within cultural systems to global social formations. This diverse collection is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, sociology, race studies, gender studies, food studies, Latin American studies, and Asian studies.
Jenny Banh is assistant professor of anthropology and Asian American studies at California State University, Fresno. Melissa King is faculty chair of the anthropology department at San Bernardino Valley College.
