  Los Angeles pulsed with economic vitality and demographic growth in the decades following World War II. This book presents the cultural history of LA from 1940 to 1970. It traces the rise of a suburban consciousness adopted by a generation of migrants who abandoned older American cities for Southern California's booming urban region.
