  • Chapter 23: Literature: Poetry
    Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 23 Literature: Poetry Mount Shasta as a symbol of high ideals, as a symbol of God's domain, as a symbol of purity, and as an inspiring presence, are just some of the varied themes which run through the 19th and 20th Century poems about this majestic mountain. In 1854 John Rollin Ridge, a Cherokee Indian who later became editor of the Sacramento Bee newspaper, wrote one of the earliest Mt. Shasta poems; entitled Mount Shasta it became one of the most famous California poems. Ridge's message was one for the entire state, and the poem contains lines such as "And well this Golden State shall thrive, if like Its own Mount Shasta, Sovereign Law shall lift Itself in purer atmosphere—so high..." The well-known abolitionist poet John Greenleaf Whittier, in 1863, used Shasta as a symbol of God's works: "Amidst the glorious works of thine, The solemn minarets of Pine, And awful Shasta's icy shrine,-Where swell thy hymns from wave and gale..." Many Mt. Shasta poems are less abstract and more personal in sentiment. Joaquin Miller, who lived from 1854-57 near Mt. Shasta, and who visited many times thereafter, wrote several poems about his old home mountain. In his Shadows of Shasta poem, reprinted in this section, one sees his recurring theme of the 'Shadows,' or dark secrets, he saw inflicted on the lives of the Indians at the hands of the whites: "In the place where the grizzly reposes, Under peaks where a right is a wrong...."

Degree awarded September 2015 ii © 2015 Rosalie Roberts iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Rosalie Roberts Doctor of Philosophy Department of English September 2015 Title: Crafting Radical Fictions: Late-Nineteenth Century American Literary Regionalism and Arts and Crafts Ideals This dissertation demonstrates that Sarah Orne Jewett’s The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), Mary Hunter Austin’s The Land of Little Rain (1906), Kate Chopin’s The Awakening (1899), and Mary Wilkins Freemans The Portion of Labor (1903) exemplify the radical politics and aesthetics that late nineteenth-century literary regionalism shares with the Arts and Crafts Movement. Despite considerable feminist critical accomplishments, scholarship on regionalism has yet to relate its rural folkways, feminine aesthetics, and anti-urban stance to similar ideals in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Jewett, Austin, Chopin, and Freeman all depict the challenges of the regional woman artist in order to oppose the uniformity and conventionality of urban modernity.

  • Book Reviews
    The Journal of San Diego History BOOK REVIEWS San Diego: California’s Cornerstone. By Iris Engstrand. San Diego, CA: Sunbelt Publications, 2005. Bibliography, illustrations, maps, chronology, and index. 300 pp. $19.95 paper. Reviewed by Eugene P. Moehring, Professor of History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Aimed primarily at the general reader and based partly on material published in two of her earlier books, Iris Engstrand’s newest survey of San Diego’s history covers a wide variety of topics and noteworthy incidents. Supporting the narrative are numerous photographs, maps, drawings, and other visual evidence. The early chapters tracing the role of native peoples and the clash of colonial cultures are informative, as are the pen portraits of leaders who helped shape the city’s history. Alonzo Horton, Major Reuben Fleet, Pete Wilson, and other influential figures are all there along with a concise summary of their contributions to San Diego’s growth. Engstrand devotes considerable space to the Panama-California Exposition, city promotion, transportation links, and downtown revitalization efforts. The latter involves discussions of park expansion, historic preservation, retail center development, and tourism. The author’s coverage of water issues, suburbanization, education, and professional sports are all satisfying, although not all subjects are of equal importance. Sometimes the desire for balance needs to be sacrificed. Subjects like the vital role of defense spending and particularly the navy – what Roger Lotchin has called “the metropolitan-military complex” – in shaping west coast urban development in places like San Diego, require more space. Moreover, a discussion of the role of defense spending in San Diego’s development demands some mention of Congressman Bob Wilson.

  • Globalization and Transnational Place Identity Along the U.S.-Mexico Border Lawrence A
    Globalization and Transnational Place Identity Along the U.S.-Mexico Border Lawrence A. Herzog Graduate Program in City Planning School of Public Affairs San Diego State University San Diego, California Invited chapter in EthniCities: Metropolitan Cultures and Ethnic Identities in the Americas The U.S.-Mexico border represents a regional laboratory in which to study the processes of culture clash and ethnic intersection in an era of globalization. One way of understanding these processes of globally- driven cultural integration is by exploring place identity. In this chapter, I explore some of the dimensions of what I term “transnational place identity” in the bi-cultural setting of the United States-Mexico border region. This 2000 mile zone along the border between northern Mexico and the southwestern United States is a vibrant place that is constantly being reinvented. I will argue that the place identity of this region is best understood by analyzing slices of the “transfrontier metropolis,” a prototype for the bifurcated urbanized culture regions that have formed along this giant international frontier.1 It is generally accepted that a critical driver of global change is economic. If regions are able to develop economies that can compete in the global economic system, those regions will prosper. In a globalizing world, economic space is dramatically shifting, changing the economic landscape. Along the border, those shifts have to do with the injection of specific kinds of border space(commerce, tourism, etc.) into the global economy. Seen from above, the U.S.-Mexico border evokes a hard landscape of arid desert, mountains, canyons, and plateaus, suddenly interrupted by two distinct cultures that have slowly imposed their will on the natural environment.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Promise and Principles of Real Estate Development in an American Metropolis: Los Angeles 1903-1923 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History By Laura Redford 2014 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION The Promise and Principles of Real Estate Development in an American Metropolis: Los Angeles 1903-1923 By Laura Redford Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Janice L. Reiff, Chair This dissertation provides a new perspective to apply in the study of metropolitan development at the turn of 20th Century America. It reveals a group of entrepreneurial men whose collective contribution to the real estate industry had just as much to do with shaping urban spaces as the wealthy, more established, and power-wielding elites that are often credited with such development. Los Angeles is the case study of the dissertation because it underwent such a dramatic transformation during this time period from a small California city to the largest and most important metropolitan region on the West Coast. Key to its growth and expansion were the members of the Los Angeles Realty Board. After organizing in 1903, the members of the board sought to bring legitimacy to their profession, encourage cooperation and fellowship among real estate men, and use their collective power to create a more dynamic business environment for their industry. They earnestly engaged in local and state politics and boosterism, redefining the role of developers and brokers. Before any formal planning structures existed in Los Angeles, they served as unofficial urban planners as they laid out the physical and social landscape of the region.
