But this depiction obscures the significant Latina/o population that has called South Central home since the 1970's. More significantly, it conceals the efforts African American and Latina/o residents have made together in shaping their community. As residents have faced increasing challenges from diminished government social services, economic disinvestment, immigration enforcement, and police surveillance, they have come together in their struggle for belonging and justice. South Central Is Home investigates the development of relational community formation and highlights how communities of color like South Central experience racism and discrimination?and how in the best of situations, they are energized to improve their conditions together. Tracking the demographic shifts in South Central from 1945 to the present, Abigail Rosas shows how financial institutions, War on Poverty programs like Headstart for school children, and community health centers emerged as crucial sites where neighbors engaged one another over what was best for their community. Through this work, Rosas illuminates the promise of community building, offering findings indispensable to our understandings of race, community, and place in U.S. society. 410 0$aStanford studies in comparative race and ethnicity. 606 $aCommunity development$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aEthnic neighborhoods$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aMexican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aAfrican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 606 $aWorking class$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory 607 $aSouth Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xRace relations$xHistory 607 $aSouth Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Calif.)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAfrican American migration and settlement. 610 $aLatina/o immigration and settlement. 610 $aSouth Central Los Angeles. 610 $aWar on Poverty. 610 $acommunity formation. 610 $ahome. 610 $ainterracial relationships. 610 $apolitics of place. 610 $apolitics of race. 610 $arelational community formation. 615 0$aCommunity development$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnic neighborhoods$xHistory. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xHistory. 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory. 676 $a305.800979494 700 $aRosas$b Abigail$01048703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467231803321 996 $aSouth Central is home$92477156 997 $aUNINA
