    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.
