San Francisco is an iconic & symbolic city. But only when you look beyond the picture-postcards of the Golden Gate Bridge & the quaint cable cars do you realize that the city’s most interesting stories are not the Summer of Love, the Beats, or even the latest Gold Rush in Silicon Valley.

Hidden San Francisco is a guidebook like no other. Structured around the four major themes of ecology, labor, transit & dissent, Chris Carlsson peels back the layers of San Francisco’s history to reveal a storied past: behind old walls & gleaming glass facades lurk former industries, secret music & poetry venues, forgotten terrorist bombings, & much more. Carlsson delves into the Bay Area’s long prehistory as well, examining the region’s geography & the lives of its inhabitants before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything, setting in motion the clash between capital & labor that shaped the modern city.

The definitive ‘history from below,’ Hidden San Francisco highlights moments of historic contestation when paths forked & choices fought over by the city’s prior inhabitants opened some doors & closed others. From the perspective of the students & secretaries, longshoremen & waitresses, Hidden San Francisco uncovers dozens of overlooked, forgotten, & flushed histories that pulse through the streets & hills even today, inviting the reader to see themselves in the middle of the ongoing, everyday process of making history . . . together.
