Endangered Dreams cover

Endangered Dreams is the fourth book in a series by Kevin Starr on Californian life and culture under the general title Americans and the California Dream. This book focuses on California during the Great Depression of the 1930s, specifically on its politics, labour disputes, and major building projects.

This is an impressive and wide-ranging book, one in which the author displays mastery of a dazzling array of topics and disciplines ... The author also writes in a very colourful and lively style, ensuring that the book is always easy to read ... this is an enjoyable and informative work, one that will prove valuable both to Californian historians and to students of the Great Depression. * Philip J. Cullis, University of Edinburgh, Labour History Review, Vol 64, no 1, spring 1999 *
