Unlike other agricultural regions, Los Angeles saw important opportunities for intercultural exchange develop around the arts and within multi-ethnic community groups; these inter-ethnic encounters formed the basis for political cooperation to address labour discrimination and solve problems of residential and educational segregation. 410 0$aStudies in rural culture. 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aWhite people$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aAgricultural laborers$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aCitrus fruit industry$xSocial aspects$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunity development$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIntercultural communication$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles Region (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aLos Angeles Region (Calif.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles Region (Calif.)$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWhite people$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAgricultural laborers$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCitrus fruit industry$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity development$xHistory 615 0$aIntercultural communication$xHistory 676 $a305.8/009794/94 700 $aGarci?a$b Matt$01043456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456424903321 996 $aA world of its own$92468745 997 $aUNINA
