It is the story of a hidden corner of Los Angeles, where the personal first became the political, where the nation's first enduring gay rights movement emerged, and where the broad spectrum of what we now think of as identity politics was born. Portraying life over a period of more than forty years in the hilly enclave of Edendale, near downtown Los Angeles, Daniel Hurewitz considers the work of painters and printmakers, looks inside the Communist Party's intimate cultural scene, and examines the social world of gay men. In this vividly written narrative, he discovers why and how these communities, inspiring both one another and the city as a whole, transformed American notions of political identity with their ideas about self-expression, political engagement, and race relations. Bohemian Los Angeles, incorporating fascinating oral histories, personal letters, police records, and rare photographs, shifts our focus from gay and bohemian New York to the west coast with significant implications for twentieth-century U.S. history and politics. 606 $aCultural pluralism$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArtists$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical activists$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunity life$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aEdendale (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aEdendale (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aEdendale (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $a20th century american culture. 610 $a20th century american history. 610 $a20th century american politics. 610 $aartist. 610 $aartistic expression. 610 $abohemian. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $acivic. 610 $acommunist party. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aedendale. 610 $agay men and women. 610 $agay rights movement. 610 $agender and sexuality. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aidentity politics. 610 $aleftists. 610 $algbt community. 610 $algbtqia. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $apolitical engagement. 610 $apolitical. 610 $arace in america. 610 $arace relations. 610 $aself expression. 610 $asexual identity construction. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $awartime los angeles. 615 0$aCultural pluralism$xHistory 615 0$aArtists$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical activists$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 676 $a979.4/94053 700 $aHurewitz$b Daniel$01636105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817913903321 996 $aBohemian Los Angeles and the making of modern politics$93977217 997 $aUNINA
