Klappentext
Studying the urban agglomeration of Los Angeles County, CA is on the one hand very interesting, exciting, as there is such a wide variety of people living there. This not only concerning ethnic origins but also in view of social classes, (haves and have nots), sub cultures, `Lebenswelten' and milieus. On the other hand, studying L.A. empirically, i.e. living, working and more than anything else talking to people while observing them, gives an insight into how a society so full of discrepancies works and operates.

"To live from day to day. That is life in L.A." Mirna, Los Angeles Garment Worker from Guatemala. Undocumented migration to the USA and the US- American textile and garment industry are examples that demonstrate well the interconnectedness of international economic interests, policy-making and migration flows.
