Book summary  Bohemian Los Angeles brings to life a vibrant and
all-but forgotten milieu of artists, leftists, and gay men and
women whose story played out over the first half of the
twentieth century and continues to shape the entire American
landscape. It is the story of a hidden corner of Los Angeles,
where the personal first became the political, where the
nations first enduring gay rights movement emerged, and where
the broad spectrum of what we now think of as identity politics
was born. Portraying life over a period of more than forty years
in the hilly enclave of Edendale, near downtown Los Angeles,
Daniel Hurewitz considers the work of painters and printmakers,
looks inside the Communist Party
