"Dodger Stadium is an American icon -- a shrine to baseball and the golden dreams of California. But its story is also one of betrayal. The hills that cradle the stadium were once home to three vibrant Mexican American communities. In the early 1950s, they were condemned to make way for a utopian public-housing project. Then, in a remarkable turn, the public-housing project in Los Angeles was defeated amid a Red Scare conspiracy. Instead of getting their homes back, the remaining residents saw the city sell their land to Walter O'Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now LA would be getting a different sort of utopian fantasy: a glittering, ultra-modern stadium. But before Dodger Stadium could be built, the city would have to face down the neighborhood's families -- including one, the Arechigas, who refused to yield their home. The ensuing confrontation captivated the nation."-- Provided by publisher.
