À propos de cet audio
From ancient Tongva lands to the global stage of the Olympics and Silicon Beach, A Brief History of Los Angeles offers a vivid, cinematic journey through the evolution of one of the world’s most complex cities. Author Derek Monaghan blends historical clarity with emotional resonance, tracing LA’s transformation across ten immersive chapters.
Explore the city’s Indigenous roots, Spanish colonization, and Mexican ranchos. Witness the rise of oil empires, the engineering of water, and the birth of Hollywood’s dream factory. Navigate the racial tensions, uprisings, and cultural revolutions that shaped its identity. From jazz and punk to hip-hop and activism, Los Angeles emerges as a city of sound, struggle, and reinvention.
This insightful narrative captures the spirit of LA—its contradictions, resilience, and mosaic of futures. Whether you're a history lover, cultural explorer, or urban storyteller, this audiobook invites you to see Los Angeles not just as a place, but as a living story.
