A Connected Metropolis by Maxwell Johnson
A Connected Metropolis describes Los Angeles's rise in the early twentieth century as catalyzed by a series of upper-class debates about the city's connections to the outside world.
"This is an important contribution to literature on Los Angeles, and to scholarship in urban history as a whole"—Cole Manley, Western Historical Quarterly
“Pithy and insightful, Maxwell Johnson’s A Connected Metropolis offers a captivating—and often surprising—exploration of how urban elites transformed the remote frontier town of Los Angeles into a global metropolis in the span of a century.”—Edward D. Melillo, author of Strangers on Familiar Soil: Rediscovering the Chile-California Connection
“Maxwell Johnson’s skill as a researcher shines throughout A Connected Metropolis. Although primarily directed at historians of Los Angeles and California, urban historians will find much value in his analysis of elite urban actors and will be able to use this as a model for studying elite politics in other American cities.”—Jessica M. Kim, author of Imperial Metropolis: Los Angeles, Mexico, and the Borderlands of American Empire, 1865–1941
