Endangered Dreams cover

In Endangered Dreams, Kevin Starr paints a portrait of California during the Great Depression that is both detailed and panoramic, offering a vivid look at the personalities and events that shaped a decade of explosive tension. Out of a shattered decade of economic and social dislocation, he constructs a coherent whole and a mirror for understanding our own time.

Endangered Dreams will be valuable for teachers and advanced students for the wealth of detail Starr provides and for the pleasure of his ability to tell a compelling story * American Studies Today *
Starr describes the radicals brilliantly ... His description of the 1934 San Francisco maritime strike is one of the best ever written * American Studies Today *
