Social Media and Oil in Southern California: Greenwashing Los Angeles explores the politics of invisibility surrounding the oil industry in Los Angeles County, where hospitals, schools, businesses, and homes are built among thousands of active wells. The book argues that oil, not Hollywood, is the key industry that drives the California dream and highlights the fossil fuel industry's use of social media to greenwash itself and obscure the consequences of drilling and refining.

Social Media and Oil in Southern California: Greenwashing Los Angeles delves into the intricate politics of invisibility that permeates the oil industry in Southern California. It is astonishing that most residents are entirely oblivious to the fact that hospitals, schools, businesses, and homes are constructed amidst thousands of active wells in Los Angeles County. Since the early 1900s, the oil industry has ingeniously employed social media as a tool to greenwash itself and obfuscate the tangible consequences of drilling and refining. From postcards to YouTube, social media has played a pivotal role in the arsenal of the fossil fuel industry. Jason L. Jarvis makes a compelling argument that oil, rather than Hollywood, is the primary industry that propels the California dream. This book holds particular appeal to scholars of communication, environmental studies, and rhetoric.
