La Bajura in the 1990s is clearly not the La Bajura of the 1970s. Yet, despite the changes that have occurred, in a sense it is the same community in many fundamental and important ways. In this preface, I touch briefly on some of the more significant developments that have impacted the world of the barrio since the earlier research was completed and will include some observations on forces for continuity and change that remain in interplay in La Bajura during the current era. It has been almost two decades since the original research for this book was completed, but my husband and I have continued to visit the barrio and to maintain contact with many of our friends there. Additional research was carried out during the summers of 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1989, adding to the accumulation of field notes, journals, interview schedules, tape transcripts, periodical clippings, and various publications from government and private agencies. In addition, a few preliminary 1990 Census figures have become avail­ able, revealing salient information about changing demographics in the city and its ethnic neighborhoods. As one public official observed in 1983, "Dallas is getting blacker and browner--and this trend is likely to continue." Indeed, the 1990 Census figures show that for the first time in the city's history, Anglos (non-Hispanic whites) have become a numerical minority m [ xi } x11 Preface to the Fifth Printing Dallas, accounting for only 48 percent of the city's 1,006,877 resi­ dents. Blacks remain the city's largest minority, at 29 percent, but Hispanics are rapidly closing the gap. Over the last three decades, the growth in their share of the population has been dramatic, increasing from 8 percent in 1970 to 21 percent by 1990. Hispanic households are now much more widely dispersed throughout Dallas, but population concentrations are still found in barrio communities such as La Bajura The 1980 Block statistics showed that 92.3 percent of La Bajura's population was of Spanish origin. By 1990 the neighborhood had become even more heavily Hispanic, with the city directory showing only 17 non-Hispanic names in the community. Partially as an outcome of the growing proportion of minorities in the city, the monolithic power structure that long prevailed in Dallas became more pluralistic during the 1980s. The Citizens Charter Asso­ ciation is defunct. Its parent organization, the business-ruled Dallas Citizens Council, remains influential in civic affairs but no longer wields the formidable power that its founding fathers did. At the formal level, the advent of single-member districts allowed the election of grassroots minority candidates to the city council and brought to a decisive close the accommodating, rubber-stamp style of earlier city councils. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, aggressive confrontation became the accustomed tactic of minority political leaders, and disrup­ tions, demonstrations, and drama were common occurrences in city hall. The 8-3 system of council elections did not, however, yield minority representation on the council in proportion to their growing population. No more than three minorities served on any of the coun­ cils seated during the period from 1976 through 1990. Despite objec­ tions from the predominantly Anglo city council, a federal judge approved a 14-1 council plan in February 1991 that was designed to enhance minority participation in the formal governing structure of the city. Under the court-approved district map, five would have black majorities; two, Hispanic; and the remaining seven, white majorities. The city government is vigorously fighting this order in the courts, however, preferring a voter-approved change that would call for a 10- 4-1 plan in which there would be ten single-member districts and four quadrant districts, with the mayor to be elected at large. The matter has not been settled at the time of this writing, but it seems clear that Preface to the Fifth Printing x111 whatever plan is eventually put in place, minorities will be able to exercise greater political power in Dallas city politics in the years ahead. Despite the bdghtening picture for minority political participa­ tion, economic empowerment remains elusive for large segments of the population. The Dallas economy took a severe downturn in the 1980s as a result of sharply deteriorating conditions in the petroleum indus­ try, and in real estate and banking. Thousands of businesses declared bankruptcy, savings and loan and other financial institutions closed in unprecedented numbers, and numerous large-scale employers an­ nounced hiring freezes and layoffs.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

Danny Yang• Page 1 Hebrews 11:13-16 All of these died in faith without having received the promises, but from a distance they saw and greeted them. They confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth, for people who speak in this way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of the land that they had left behind, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; indeed, he has prepared a city for them. Have you been to a wedding recently? Have you been to a wedding reception? In this room full of clergy and lay leaders, I’m sure we’ve been to more than our fair share. Do you remember the main course at the last reception? Did you have chicken, beef, or fish? Maybe among the more disciplined in this room, you took the vegetarian option. Now here’s a question that I’m really curious about: has anyone here ever eaten chicken feet at a wedding reception? In fact, how many of you have ever even had chicken feet before? This gets a bit personal for me because 15 years ago this coming August, my wife and I served chicken feet at our wedding reception here in Houston.

  • Latin Neighborhoods in the United States Ernesto Castañeda Assistant
    Latin Neighborhoods in the United States Ernesto Castañeda Assistant Professor of Sociology American University, Washington DC MARCH 1, 2019 Abstract Inner-cities, African-American neighborhoods, Chinatowns and other abstract concepts of racialized spaces occupy important roles in social theory and policy, yet the concept of the Barrio, or Mexican-American neighborhood, has faded away since Oscar Lewis’ work on “the culture of poverty.” Is there a policy or theoretical use to talking about U.S. Barrios in general or should the discussion of Mexican neighborhoods be place-specific? The presentation compares two Latino neighborhoods: El Barrio/East Harlem, New York City, NY; and El Segundo Barrio, El Paso, TX. Levels of Analysis Demographers use Census data and large surveys ◦ Good to look at trends in the size of the Latino population ◦ Macro Level Less common to look at ethnic groups beyond neighborhood boundaries and to compare between cities ◦ Good to look at particulars and generalizable processes ◦ Meso level Community Studies – look at particular neighborhoods ◦ Good to discover processes and social dynamics ◦ Micro Level (Castañeda et al. 2013) Chicago School Studied immigrants as communities in bounded urban areas. Urban Communities A theoretical, tourist, and mental map fetish? Research Questions Does it make sense to talk about a general Latino experience across the U.S.? Is there a policy or theoretical use to talking about U.S. Barrios in general or should the discussion of Mexican neighborhoods be place-specific? How do local contexts and built environments affect inter-ethnic relations? Barrios ❑ There is relatively small amount of academic work published about Barrios or Latino neighborhoods.
