Abstract

Los Angeles n’est pas une ville comme les autres. Malgré des conditions hostiles, naturelles ou liées à son développement - secousses sismiques, approvisionnement en eau difficile, pollution, gigantisme... -, elle témoigne en effet de la volonté de ses 15 millions d’habitants d’en faire la métropole de l’Ouest américain, puis de l’intégrer au club des métropoles mondiales. La deuxième ville des États-Unis représente un poids économique indéniable, axé principalement sur les industries de haute technologie, mais aussi un poids culturel comme capitale mondiale du cinéma qui tout au long du xxe siècle a réussi à exporter L’american way of life. D’une manière ou d’une autre, la ville fait rêver tout en s’affranchissant des clichés traditionnels. Mais paradoxalement, plus la ville s’étale sans notion de limites, plus elle exprime au travers de la violence exercée dans son espace public ce désir d’un centre qui, en faisant référence à la mémoire historique de son peuplement, matérialiserait l’identité d’une société désormais multiethnique. Cynthia Ghorra-Gobin nous fait comprendre avec clarté l’histoire exemplaire et les enjeux de cette mégapole à l’aube du xxie siècle.

Abstract

"Los Angeles rose to significance in the first half of the twentieth century by way of its complex relationship to three rivers: the Los Angeles, the Owens, and the Colorado. The remarkable urban and suburban trajectory of southern California since then cannot be fully understood without reference to the ways in which each of these three river systems came to be connected to the metropolitan future of the region. This history of growth must be understood in full consideration of all three of these rivers and the challenges and opportunities they presented to those who would come to make Los Angeles a global power. Full of primary sources and original documents, Water and Los Angeles will be of interest to both students of Los Angeles and general readers interested in the origins of the city"--Provided by publisher.
