BARRON, Stephanie; BERNSTEIN, Sheri; and FORT, Ilene Susan [editors]. Reading California. Art, Image, and Identity, 1900-2000
[From the cover] "Divided into three broad categories - historical background, art history and popular culture, and politics and identity - these provocative essays cover topics such as counterculture architecture, the Watts Towers, border culture, gender issues, the role of schools in California art, auto tourism, Hollywood, music, Beat culture, politics, literature, photography, and much more. Accessibly written and intellectually engaging, the essays bring together many diverse yet interrelated aspects of the state’s art and culture and sharpen our understanding of California in the twentieth century"
