Reclaiming San Francisco : history, politics, culture : a City Lights anthology
James Brook (Editor), Chris Carlsson (Editor), Nancy J. Peters (Editor), City Lights Books (Publisher)
Provides an anthology of fresh appraisals of the contrarian spirit of the city--a spirit "resistant to authority or control." The official story of San Francisco is one of progress, development, and growth. But there are other, unofficial, San Francisco stories, often shrouded in myth and in danger of being forgotten, and they are told here: stories of immigrants and minorities, sailors and waterfront workers, and poets, artists, and neighborhood activists--along with the stories of speculators, land-grabbers, and the land itself that need to be told differently. --From publisher description
