Inventing the Dream: California Through the Progressive Era Paperback - 1986
by Kevin Starr
First line
Southern California, where the search for the California dream attained significant intensity at century's turn, was a land that rushed to the sea as if to an eager lover.
From the rear cover
With the exception of certain deliberate excursions to the north, this narrative is more than half concerned with the rise of Southern California in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The focus remains, as usual, the imaginative and symbolic aspects of experience as the imagination impinges upon social and psychological realities and in turn transforms the materials of experience into the building blocks of identity.

As he recreates the 'lost California,' Starr examines the rich variety of elements that figured in the growth of the Southern California way of life: the Spanish/Mexican roots, the fertile land, the Mediterranean-like climate, the special styles in architecture, the rise of Hollywood.
