A gripping portrait of black power politics and the struggle for civil rights in postwar Oakland As the birthplace of the Black Panthers and a nationwide tax revolt, California embodied a crucial motif of the postwar United States: the rise of suburbs and the decline of cities, a process in which black and white histories inextricably joined. American Babylon tells this story through Oakland and its nearby suburbs, tracing both the history of civil rights and black power politics as well as the history of suburbanization and home-owner politics. Robert Self shows that racial inequities in both New Deal and Great Society liberalism precipitated local struggles over land, jobs, taxes, and race within postwar metropolitan development. Black power and the tax revolt evolved together, in tension. American Babylon demonstrates that the history of civil rights and black liberation politics in California did not follow a southern model, but represented a long-term struggle for economic rights that began during the World War II years and continued through the rise of the Black Panthers in the late 1960s. This struggle yielded a wide-ranging and profound critique of postwar metropolitan development and its foundation of class and racial segregation. Self traces the roots of the 1978 tax revolt to the 1940s, when home owners, real estate brokers, and the federal government used racial segregation and industrial property taxes to forge a middle-class lifestyle centered on property ownership. Using the East Bay as a starting point, Robert Self gives us a richly detailed, engaging narrative that uniquely integrates the most important racial liberation struggles and class politics of postwar America.

Download Prophets in Babylon Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Prophets in Babylon offers a wholly original perspective on affinities among five California novelists who wrote in the Depression decade. Writers as disparate as Upton Sinclair, John Steinbeck, Aldous Huxley, Arnold B. Armstrong and Nathanael West all respond to the social and economic uncertainties of the period by the creation of «prophet-figures» moral teachers, visionaries, or sacrificial messiahs. These figures build on specifically Californian traditions of utopian experiments to reflect critically upon, and provide constructive practical alternatives to, competitive individualism.

Palm Springs, California, is a city of philanthropists and philanderers, movie stars and media moguls, athletes, actors, and aesthetes. Mungo's Palm Springs Babylon is the conflagration of their secrets, packed with pictorial persiflage and damning documentation--Hollywood's history at its sleaziest and most corrupt.
