Book Review

My Blue Heaven: Life and Politics in the Working-Class Suburbs of Los Angeles, 1920–1965. By Becky M. Nicolaides. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2002. xviii + 412 pp. Illustrations, tables, notes, index. $65.00, £41.00, cloth; $24.00, £15.50, paper.)

With this book, Becky Nicolaides makes a valuable contribution to an increasingly influential body of work that examines the intersection of race and space in post-war America. Like Jonathan Rieder, Thomas Sugrue, John McGreevy, and others, Nicolaides sheds light on the extent to which embattled white neighborhoods served as incubators of an ascendant anti-liberal political outlook among the white working class.
