Synopsis of Five Fires: Race, Catastrophe, and the Shaping of California
En este estudio original, el historiador cultural y crítico David Wyatt utiliza la historia del fuego para contar la historia de California. Wyatt se centra en cinco eventos que arrasaron California, alterando su paisaje físico y político y la forma en que ambos fueron representados en el arte y la literatura. Comienza con la importación accidental y la propagación de la avena silvestre en la década de 1770, un proceso que tuvo su contraparte humana en los invasores españoles. Luego explora el impacto de otros cuatro eventos significativos: la fiebre del oro, el terremoto e incendio de 1906, el auge de la industria de defensa posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el "fuego de la raza" que estalló en Watts en 1965. Este quinto incendio, afirma Wyatt, ha ardido a lo largo de la historia de California, y examina hábilmente sus efectos tanto en la experiencia de la inmigración china como en el internamiento de los estadounidenses de origen japonés en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
