Download or read book Making the San Fernando Valley written by Laura R. Barraclough and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book-length scholarly study of the San Fernando Valley—home to one-third of the population of Los Angeles—Laura R. Barraclough combines ambitious historical sweep with an on-theground investigation of contemporary life in this iconic western suburb. She is particularly intrigued by the Valley's many rural elements, such as dirt roads, tack-and-feed stores, horse-keeping districts, citrus groves, and movie ranches. Far from natural or undeveloped spaces, these rural characteristics are, she shows, the result of deliberate urbanplanning decisions that have shaped the Valley over the course of more than a hundred years. The Valley's entwined history of urban development and rural preservation has real ramifications today for patterns of racial and class inequality and especially for the evolving meaning of whiteness. Immersing herself in meetings of homeowners' associations, equestrian organizations, and redistricting committees, Barraclough uncovers the racial biases embedded in rhetoric about “open space” and “western heritage.” The Valley's urban cowboys enjoy exclusive, semirural landscapes alongside the opportunities afforded by one of the world's largest cities. Despite this enviable position, they have at their disposal powerful articulations of both white victimization and, with little contradiction, color-blind politics.

Download or read book Six Devils in the San Fernando Valley written by Ernie Mannix and published by Opus Coast Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Truman Morrow decides that he's had enough of the movie business, a near-death encounter with a mysterious stranger reveals that this former Hollywood insider has been chosen for a dangerous mission, one far more important than fame and fortune. "Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley," is a novel about the mysterious land behind the Hollywood sign. From the historic mission of its patron saint, to the soul-crushing chief executive of a movie studio, Truman Morrow romances and fights his way through the dark shadows of the valley, weaving danger, love, mystery and history into a romantic thriller that will leave you questioning the very foundations of the entertainment business. ""Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley" is one of the best books ever written about Hollywood simply because it does what others haven't. It shows us that the road to hell is paved with gold and lined with movie studios and talent agencies. Ernie Mannix's novel belongs on my bookshelf right between Budd Schulberg's "The Disenchanted," and C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters." It's that good!" - Michael McGruther, screenwriter of "Tigerland" "If F. Scott Fitzgerald and Patricia Highsmith had a child, it would've been an author just like Ernie Mannix. His novel "Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley" is the singular combination of both styles and will forever change your perception of life in Hollywood." - Rick Tumlinson, writer, "The Huffington Post" A word from the author: What would you do if one day you were chosen to help clean up a dirty town, a town infamous for destroying souls and robbing countless young dreamers of their better years? I'm talking about Hollywood, California and this is where Truman Morrow, the hero in my debut novel, Six Devils In The San Fernando Valley, begins his incredible journey into the depths of the entertainment business. Hollywood is filled with tales of bad behavior, ruined careers, suicides, and overdoses-but these are all just the ugly dividends of a much deeper problem, a problem both terrifying and fascinating at the same time-a problem that makes one hell of a good setting for a romantic thriller. What if show business is in fact an evil enterprise? What if evil spirits are thriving on human misery like vampires thrives on blood? Is it then too hard to imagine that they've built an entire industry around keeping themselves fed? This is the world Truman encounters and what he discovers will startle you. - Ernie Mannix
