Synopsis

Twelve essays address various facets of the city's economy, elites, ethnic groups, water- and labor-management problems, development, politics, and drive to become as important as Los Angeles or Dallas. Many of the essays grew out of the Phoenix History Project commissioned during the late 1970s to find, analyze, and preserve historical sources and resources in a community where the influx of population and the sparseness of documentary materials made the task both difficult and vital.
