In an unusual collaborative effort, researchers worked with former gang members to make contact with and interview members of various "cliques" (cohorts) of the White Fence and El Hoyo Maravilla gangs (male gangs), as well as female gangs in the same neighborhoods. Interviews were conducted with 156 adult men and women; about 40 percent had joined the gangs in the 1940s and early 1950s, while the rest had been'active in recent years. Data are set in the context of economic and social chaages in the barrios between the 1950s and the 1970s-80s. Data reveal that in the later era, gangs had become more institutionalized, were more influential in members' lives, and had become more deviant.

  • Screening the LAPD
    1 Screening the L.A.P.D.: Cinematic Representations of Policing and Discourses of Law Enforcement in Los Angeles, 1948-2003. by Robert Bevan University College London Ph.D. Thesis 2 Declaration I, Robert Bevan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Thesis Abstract This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality.

  • The Portrayal of Anti Mexican-American Sentiment In
    ADLN – PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background of the Study History is a story that captures the events in the past. Today, people are helped by history books as source to know what happened long-ago, yet history books are usually boring and hard to understand. As an alternative way, many people consume history in interesting ways, such as historical novels, cartoons or movies. History is packed into these entertaining works to wipe off the stereotype that history is boring and useless. However, sometimes novels or movies adapt the historical events in creating a controversy when it changes the characters, the places, the plot and the places from the official history. One example comes from James Ellroy‘s The Black Dahlia, a fiction novel that dramatizes The Black Dahlia murder in late 1940s. Black Dahlia was the popular name of Elizabeth Short, who was an ordinary American woman. She was never famous when she was alive yet her murder could attract attention and curiosity of people until this day. According to FBI record, around 60 years ago, she was found sliced clean in half at the waist by a mother walking her child on January 15, 1947, in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California. Although there were extensive mutilation and cuts of the body, there was not any drop of blood at SKRIPSI THE PORTRAYAL OF ...

The novel follows Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert, a LAPD officer who was known more for his prowess in the boxing ring than his ability to uphold the law.

    ¡Murales Rebeldes! L.A. Chicana/o Murals under Siege Selected Exhibition Texts From Catalog Perspectives Erin M. Curtis, Jessica Hough, Guisela Latorre Contested Histories Erin M. Curtis If These Walls Could Talk Jessica Hough Inclusion/Exclusion Guisela Latorre Recapturing the Lost, Reigniting the Present, Remembering the Future Gustavo Arellano La Historia de Adentro/La Historia de Afuera, The History from Within/The History from Without Yreina Cervántez Perspectives Erin M. Curtis, Jessica Hough, Guisela Latorre We began developing ¡Murales Rebeldes! as an exhibition about Chicana/o murals that had been censored, perhaps as a result of their content and/or their reception by the public. We wanted to find out why so many Chicana/o murals had ceased to exist over the past few decades. Given these wall paintings’ inherently contested nature, we assumed that most had been censored and eventually destroyed as a result. What we encountered in the course of our research, however, was far more complex. While many murals had been deliberately destroyed or whitewashed due to their supposedly subversive or threatening content, many had been made to disappear in less conspicuous ways. A narrative of overt censorship did not tell the full story of these murals, nor did it give us full insight into the life and work of muralists who had to contend with the destruction, ill treatment, and rejection of their work. Expanding our thinking about murals involved examining them from multiple viewpoints, including those of the artists who created them, the communities for which they were intended, and the organizations that commissioned, regulated, championed, and/or challenged them.

Uh a struggle that was involved, uh, involving our parents, our ancestors, our people in this country, to overcome the devastating impact of economic poverty. Even though we were very rich in culture and values, and family support, nonetheless, discrimination, racism, has taken it’s toll on many generations. So, it wasn’t that we started in any particular period, but it was really a continuation of where our family ended and we picked up... 12:01:13 ...Now, I was working in a gasoline station in East San Jose, and right near, in, Sal Si Puedes, and I was also going to school at San Jose State University, which was previously called San Jose State College.
