The American Alcalde series chronicles over 175 years of Los Angeles mayoral election history, detailing the municipality’s transformation from a once small Spanish and Mexican pueblo into the preeminent global city it is today.This volume includes stories about James Kenneth Hahn, the son of a legend who was never able to fully step out from his father’s impressive long shadow. Antonio Villaraigosa, a rising star in United States politics, but whose playboy antics eventually sank a once promising career in government. Eric Garcetti, the easy going Valley Boy and dedicated follower of fashion who implemented a progressive agenda, until stumbling over one of its biggest taboos while on a passage to India. And Karen Bass, who broke through the mayoralty’s great glass ceiling to become the first ever elected female Mayor of Los Angeles. She had everything seemingly go her way until the city went up in flames.
