Shiel, M. (2012) Hollywood cinema and the real Los Angeles. London: Reaktion Books.
* "While the studios were often perceived in terms of ethnic difference, as predominantly Jewish enclaves, the majority of films of Los Angeles reinforced it's domination by white Anglo-Saxon Protestants." - (Page 8)
* "Most marginalized African Americans and Latinos, except when including them for ridicule or romanization, the most betrayed an increasing privatization of Los Angeles' social space, especially in the proliferation and suburban single-family homes, which created pressurized domestic environments often antithetical to working-class solidarity and progressive political action." - (Page 8)
* The spatial complexity of the image of the city was matched by the intricate and evolving geography of the film industry on the ground where Hollywood cinema and the
place known as 'Hollywood' were never one and the same. Within Los Angeles, film-making was established early on not only in the fabled district but in downtown, Edendale and Westwood, and in nearby municipalities such as Glendale, Burbank and Culver City. In its external relations, Los Angeles used motion pictures to challenge older cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, with which Los Angeles' film industry competed for creative talent, film production and corporate finance, and whose primacy Los Angeles began to overtake." - (Page 8)
