Mike Davis  

Definition

  • Mike Davis (1946–) is a prolific Marxist labor historian whose renown stems from a memorably trenchant, provocative mix of scholarship and reportage on urban issues, especially those concerning Los Angeles. Davis labels himself a “writer-activist,” “former meat cutter and long-distance truck driver,” and “Marxist-environmentalist”; his perspective on American cities is consciously that of someone who grew up in a southern California marked by deindustrialization, suburbanization, and racism.
