In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills - Latino Suburbanization in Postwar Los Angeles

Informationen zum Autor González, Jerry Klappentext In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills examines the multilayered process by which Mexican Americans moved out of the barrios and emerged as a majority population in the San Gabriel Valley, and the impact that movement had on collective racial and class identity.  Zusammenfassung Residential and industrial sprawl changed more than the political landscape of postwar Los Angeles. It expanded the employment and living opportunities for millions of Angelinos into new suburbs. In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills examines the struggle for inclusion into this exclusive world and the impact that movement had on collective racial and class identity.
