    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “And Make the San Fernando Valley My Home:” Contested Spaces, Identities, and Activism on the Edge of Los Angeles A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jean-Paul deGuzman 2014 © Copyright by Jean-Paul deGuzman 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “And Make the San Fernando Valley My Home:” Contested Spaces, Identities, and Activism on the Edge of Los Angeles by Jean-Paul deGuzman Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Janice L. Reiff, Chair Southern California’s San Fernando Valley is a huge expanse of land that comprises the northernmost section of the City of Los Angeles. Although it is currently the home to over 1.8 million residents with roots from across the globe and for several decades has been a city within a city, powerful and competing images of “the Valley” continue to shape public consciousness about this well-known American space. For better or worse, the San Fernando Valley has become a metonym for the rise and fall of post-World War II suburbia. This linear narrative – that privileges the transformation of agricultural fields into industrial plants and residential suburbs that later fell victim to urban sprawl – elides the histories of people of color in favor of broad generalizations about segregation or demographic change. This dissertation challenges those assumptions and uses the San Fernando Valley as a site to understand the overlapping relationships between race, space, and activism in the twentieth century. I propose that the San Fernando Valley is an instructive site to examine those ii relationships because of its historically multiethnic neighborhoods that have been shaped by the forces of such as war, metropolitan growth, and economic restructuring.

    26TH ANNUAL DEMOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP BIG CHANGES AHEAD IN POST-RECESSION CALIFORNIA PROGRAM MONDAY, JUNE 1, 2015 Loker Conference Room California Science Center ABOUT So many major changes are afoot that we thought to feature these as a set. As Southern California fully emerges into the post-recession world, how much more different could things be? We expect 150 attendants from throughout California to discuss what changes will be facing California after the Great Recession. Dowell Myers, Professor and Director of the Population Dynamics Research Group in the Sol Price School of Public Policy at USC, says, “Even after economic recovery, Big Changes include fertility declines, sustained reductions in migration and immigration, retirements of the Baby Boomers and the powerful impacts of Millennials now coming of age.” Emphasizing that this year’s theme is very timely, Hasan Ikhrata, SCAG’s Executive Director, says, “SCAG will continue to conduct research on demographic changes and the changing housing and travel behaviors and SCAG will lead in discussing planning and policy options to address them, as needed.” CONFERENCE HOSTED BY USC Sol Price School of Public Policy University of Southern California Lewis Hall 312, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0626 (213) 740-6842 | www.usc.edu Southern California Association of Governments 818 West 7th Street 12th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90017 (213) 236-1800 | www.scag.ca.gov SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS -ii- 26TH ANNUAL DEMOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP AGENDA 26TH ANNUAL DEMOGRAPHIC WORKSHOP BIG CHANGES AHEAD IN POST-RECESSION CALIFORNIA JUNE.01.2015 7:30 AM Registration/Continental Breakfast 8:00 AM Welcome/Introductions Jack Knott, Dean, Sol Price School of Public Policy, USC Hasan Ikhrata, Executive Director, Southern California Association of Governments James T.

  • CHAPMAN Housing Bubble Burst in 2008, but It Also Slowed by Almost a Quarter from 2011 Universityto 2015
    AMERICA’S HOUSING CRISIS America faces a growing crisis in housing supply unseen since the aftermath of the Second World War. It is both driving families out of many regions, particularly along the ocean coasts, and forcing many others to live in more crowded dwellings than most prefer. Although population growth has slowed significantly since the 1950s and 1960s, production has stalled even more so. It’s not surprising that homebuilding declined after theCHAPMAN housing bubble burst in 2008, but it also slowed by almost a quarter from 2011 UNIVERSITYto 2015. PRESS PRESS CHAPMAN PRESS UNIVERSITY PRESS PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS AMERICA’S HOUSING CRISIS collaboration by: Joel Kotkin, Wendell Cox, Michael Lind, Morley Winograd, Anne Snyder, Tim Cisneros, & Rick Harrison CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS PRESS CHAPMAN PRESS UNIVERSITY PRESS 2015 PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY PRESS To us, cities emerge because they provide opportunity to people, and are sustainable only so long as they continue to do so. For a city to sustain itself, it must provide a wide range of opportunities— not just for the affluent. The city, better seen as a metropolitan area, needs to address the diverse interests and preferences of its residents. And given that those interests and preferences are constantly evolving, the “over planning” mindset is untenable, even dangerous, to the future of cities that embrace it. It will be the primary task of the Center to spell out how cities can drive opportunity for the bulk of their citizens.
