Dialogues on the delta: approaches to the city of Stockton

This collection of essays examines the city of Stockton, California from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Stockton is in the heart of the Central Valley, an agricultural region that comprises a diverse population and rich history.

It covers the economic downturn of the city that was ground zero for the housing market crisis during the Great Recession, which resulted in it becoming the first major American city to declare bankruptcy.

Nevertheless, the city cannot be framed only on its economic misfortunes; Stockton has a vibrant community with important historical figures.
