Audiobook full length history non-fiction???? The City of Angels... or the City of Inmates? Discover how Los Angeles became the capital of mass incarceration. Listen to the groundbreaking history book "City of Inmates" by Kelly Lytle Hernández.
???? ABOUT THE BOOK:
Marshaling more than two centuries of evidence, historian Kelly Lytle Hernández unmasks how histories of native elimination, immigrant exclusion, and black disappearance drove the rise of "human caging" in Los Angeles.
From the Spanish colonial era to the outbreak of the 1965 Watts Rebellion, this book documents the bond between conquest and incarceration.
But it is also a chronicle of resilience. It documents how targeted communities fought back—busting out of jail, forcing Supreme Court rulings, and setting fire to the belly of the city.
