Exploring a question that has profound relevance for the nation as a whole, this study looks closely at eclectic neighborhoods in California where multiple minorities constituted the majority during formative years of the twentieth century. In a lively account, woven throughout with vivid voices and experiences drawn from interviews, ethnic newspapers, and memoirs, Allison Varzally examines everyday interactions among the Asian, Mexican, African, Native, and Jewish Americans, and others who lived side by side. What she finds is that in shared city spaces across California, these diverse groups mixed and mingled as students, lovers, worshippers, workers, and family members and, along the way, expanded and reconfigured ethnic and racial categories in new directions.MinoritiesCaliforniaHistoryCommunity lifeCaliforniaHistory20th centuryRace discriminationCaliforniaHuman geographyCaliforniaCaliforniaRace relationsCaliforniaEthnic relationsCaliforniaSocial conditions20th centuryElectronic books.MinoritiesHistory.Community lifeHistoryRace discriminationHuman geography305.8009794Varzally Allison1972-1056805MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454490003321Making a non-White America2491422UNINA
