LA’s explosive past becomes its eternal present in this guide to reading the face of a neighbourhood – its histories and inhabitants, landmarks and wars. Foster’s formally and substantively inventive prose poems describe the multiplicity, double vision and explosive tension that lead from the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans to warfare on the streets of Watts and Koreatown to the frustrated anger of a boy punching out factory windows with his bare fists. This new, expanded edition provides visual maps to accompany Foster’s words, and celebrates the impact his book has had by including original writings by Karen Tei Yamashita and others in response to Foster’s poetic provocations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9781885030870.
