When Latino migration to the U.S. South became increasingly visible in the 1990s, observers and advocates grasped for ways to analyze "new" racial dramas in the absence of historical reference points. However, as this book is the first to comprehensively document, Mexicans and Mexican Americans have a long history of migration to the U.S. South. Corazón de Dixie recounts the untold histories of Mexicanos' migrations to New Orleans, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina as far back as 1910. It follows Mexicanos into the heart of Dixie, where they navigated the 'Jim Crow' system, cultivated community in the cotton fields, purposefully appealed for help to the Mexican government, shaped the southern conservative imagination in the wake of the civil rights movement, and embraced their own version of suburban living at the turn of the twenty-first century

"In Cartographic Memory, Juan Herrera maps 1960s Chicano Movement activism in the Latinx neighborhood of Fruitvale in Oakland, California, showing how activists there constructed a politics forged through productions of space. From Chicano-inspired street murals to the architecture of restaurants and shops, Herrera shows how Fruitvale's communities and spaces serve as a palpable, living record of movement politics and achievements. Drawing on oral histories with Chicano activists, ethnography, and archival research, Herrera analyzes how activism shapes Fruitvale. Herrera examines the ongoing nature of activism through nonprofit organizations and urban redevelopment projects like the Fruitvale Transit Village that root movements in place. Showing how the social justice activism in Fruitvale fights for a space which does not yet exist, Herrera brings to life contentious politics about the nature of Chicanismo, Latinidad, and belonging while foregrounding the lasting social and material legacies of movements so often relegated to the past."--

Los Angeles n’est pas une ville comme les autres. Malgré des conditions hostiles, naturelles ou liées à son développement - secousses sismiques, approvisionnement en eau difficile, pollution, gigantisme... -, elle témoigne en effet de la volonté de ses 15 millions d’habitants d’en faire la métropole de l’Ouest américain, puis de l’intégrer au club des métropoles mondiales. La deuxième ville des États-Unis représente un poids économique indéniable, axé principalement sur les industries de haute technologie, mais aussi un poids culturel comme capitale mondiale du cinéma qui tout au long du xxe siècle a réussi à exporter L’american way of life. D’une manière ou d’une autre, la ville fait rêver tout en s’affranchissant des clichés traditionnels. Mais paradoxalement, plus la ville s’étale sans notion de limites, plus elle exprime au travers de la violence exercée dans son espace public ce désir d’un centre qui, en faisant référence à la mémoire historique de son peuplement, matérialiserait l’identité d’une société désormais multiethnique. Cynthia Ghorra-Gobin nous fait comprendre avec clarté l’histoire exemplaire et les enjeux de cette mégapole à l’aube du xxie siècle.
