    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.

  • Fresno's Long Hot Summer of 1967
    ABSTRACT FRESNO’S LONG HOT SUMMER OF 1967: AN EXAMINATION OF HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION Although ironically remembered as the Summer of Love, 1967 proved to be one of the most violent in American History. And while previous summers also witnessed serious rioting, 1967 dwarfed earlier levels of violence and would alternately enter the lexicon of Civil Rights as “The Long Hot Summer.” In that year alone, one hundred and fifty-nine cities experienced what were then termed racial disturbances, prompting Lyndon B. Johnson to create the Kerner Riot Commission. This work examines the causes and consequences of one site of one those riots: Fresno, California. This thesis contends that the dual forces of housing segregation and employment discrimination served as a conduit for prevailing racial attitudes which led to a starkly different existence for Fresno’s residents of color in comparison to its white residents. These factors, combined with the closing of a summer program, fueled a riot which lasted for three days and momentarily awakened white America’s conscience to the plight of urban minorities in places like Fresno. Longstanding racial attitudes in Fresno manifested in a concerted effort to maintain segregation. This was achieved through federal housing legislation, restrictive racial covenants, and at times, terroristic acts from white residents. Moreover, the segregated sections of west Fresno provided stark few opportunities for young people of color, a fact echoed by census data, personal interviews, and advertisements from the Fresno Bee.
