"Since its first publication in 1963, [this book] has been regarded as the standard history of the nation's most populous state. This revised edition includes the important developments of the 1960s.--More than a quarter of this book is devoted to the 20th century. Professor Rolle examines the effects of labor strife, the depression, World War II, the racial crisis, population expansion, migratory labor, traffic congestion, and air and water pollution. Especially relevant is the discussion of the Berkeley and Watts riots, the hippies, and the state's political complexity."--from DJ. History. United States. California and the West.
