Description

Published to commemorate the bicentennial of Los Angeles, Los Angeles: The Enormous Village, 1781–1981 is a richly illustrated and thoughtfully written portrait of a city that defies simple definition. Journalist John D. Weaver traces Los Angeles from its small pueblo origins through two centuries of growth, transformation, contradiction, and cultural invention.

Blending history, photography, and documentary narrative, this volume captures Los Angeles as both place and idea—layered, sprawling, intimate, and perpetually unfinished. Issued by Capra Press, a respected California literary publisher, the book reflects a serious regional sensibility and remains a valuable resource for readers interested in urban history, California studies, architecture, and cultural identity.
