Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society: From Watts to Rodney King by Ronald N. Jacobs, ISBN 0521625785
Since the early nineteenth century, African-Americans have turned to Black newspapers to monitor the mainstream media and to develop alternative interpretations of public events. Ronald Jacobs tells the stories of these newspapers--in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles--for the first time, comparing African-American and "mainstream" media coverage of racial crises such as the Watts riot, the beating of Rodney King, the Los Angeles uprisings and the O. J. Simpson trial. In an engaging yet scholarly style, Jacobs shows us why a strong African-American press is still needed today.

Seeking Community in a Global City: Guatemalans and Salvadorans in Los Angeles by Nora Hamilton, ISBN 1566398681
Driven by the pressures of poverty and civil strife at home, large numbers of Central Americans came to the Los Angeles area during the 1980's. Neither purely economic migrants, though they were in search of stable work, nor official refugees, although they carried the scars of war and persecution, Guatemalans and Salvadorans were even denied the aid given to refugees such as Cubans and Vietnamese. In addition, these immigrants sought refuge in a city undergoing massive economic and demographic shifts of its own. The result was -- and is -- a complex interaction that will help to reconceptualize the migration experience.
Based on twenty years of work with the Los Angeles Central American community and filled with facts, figures, and personal narratives, Seeking Community in a Global City presents this saga from many perspectives. The authors examine the forces in Central America that sent thousands of people streaming across international borders. They discuss economic, political, and...

RO L.A. tells the poetic story of the river withNPR contributor and Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrisons words and Mark Lamonicas startling photographs. Their RO L.A. demonstrates that this river is as vital and mystical as the city it transects. As the authors prove, the Los Angeles River is the life source of Americas most important city.
