"On April 29, 1992 the acquittal of the four police officers charged with beating motorist Rodney King sparked one of the angriest uprisings Los Angeles - and perhaps the country - has ever seen. At the ten-year anniversary, we need to remember what happened to us and why.".

"Geography of Rage: Remembering the Los Angeles Riots of 1992 is a collection of personal reflections ranging from the provocative insights of award-winning writers, journalists, and musicians, to highly personal essays and interviews of neighbors, friends, and fellow Angelenos whose lives were forever affected by the riot and its aftermath."--BOOK JACKET.
