The Case For Letting Malibu Burn w/ Jake Flores
from Party Girls
DESCRIPTION: Jamie is joined by Jake Flores (@feraljokes) of Pod Damn America (@poddamnamerica) to discuss Mike Davis’ 1998 essay “The Case For Letting Malibu Burn,” which is also the third chapter in his book “Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster” (Verso, 1998). In this controversial-at-the-time essay, Davis maps the fire ecology of the Malibu coast and explains why ongoing overdevelopment of this area is the height of capitalist folly. Catch Jamie, Jake, Fellatia G and more at Super Solidarity Smash Bros, a fundraiser for activist legal fees at the Robinson Space in Los Angeles on January 25th at 7pm!
