This is an anthology Jervey Tervalon and I edited, published in 2002, ten years after the acquittal of officers involved in the Rodney King beating sparked the 1992 LA Riots. The anthology consists of personal experiences and opinions by writers in and around the greater LA area.Promoted as follows:Tenth Anniversary reflections on the 1992 uprising in Los Angeles. On April 29, 1992, the acquittal of the four police officers charged with beating motorist Rodney King sparked a violent, 3-day riot....
This is a powerful collection of essays, narratives, and poems stemming from the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. In first person accounts, you hear from college students, musicians, actors, shop-owners, every day Americans. Each chapter feels like a minidocumentary from a person who was in LA at the time or was, in some way, personally impacted by the events. Geography of Rage is an amazing artifact from a variety of vantage points and perspectives from April 29, 1992.
Not really a book about the 1992 riots, but a rather fascinating profile of Angelenos (of many different sorts), with the riots as a backdrop.
