Hella Town: Oakland's History of Development and Disruption Hardcover - 2021
by Mitchell Schwarzer
From the rear cover
"Mitchell Schwarzer provides an engaging and comprehensive history of Oakland's built environment. Meticulously researched, Hella Town examines the forces that shaped the city's landscape and exposes the structural racism that created and maintained the societal inequities that persist today. The book is a must-read for anyone seeking to better understand this fascinating city."--Libby Schaaf, Mayor of Oakland
"Hella Town ambitiously and thoughtfully tells Oakland's history from its cycles of expansion and industrialization to its current landscape of technology startups and gentrifying neighborhoods alongside trenchant poverty and homelessness. It is a must-read for those who want to understand how American cities get built and unbuilt."--Mabel O. Wilson, Professor, Columbia University "An absolutely first-rate work that fills a huge gap in our history. While Silicon Valley rules the internet, San Francisco is world-renowned, and Berkeley symbolizes American radicalism, Oakland is regularly overlooked. This great city deserves its day in the sun for being, again and again, the most dynamic, fascinating, and tragic part of the Bay Area."--Richard Walker, author of Pictures of a Gone City: Tech and the Dark Side of Prosperity in the San Francisco Bay Area "Mitchell Schwarzer's Hella Town reads like a virtual roadmap through the complex web of discriminatory practices, policy, shortsightedness and greed that got us into the dual housing and identity crises we find ourselves in today. Will the people and the spirit that made the Bay, the Bay, be driven out along the fault lines of inequity, or will the land between the redwoods and the water prove just how resilient the spirit of the Town really is? My money is on the Town."--Rafael Casal, actor and co-creator of BlindspottingDetails
