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. 606 $aMinorities$zCalifornia$xHistory 606 $aCommunity life$zCalifornia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRace discrimination$zCalifornia 606 $aHuman geography$zCalifornia 607 $aCalifornia$xRace relations 607 $aCalifornia$xEthnic relations 607 $aCalifornia$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $a20th century american culture. 610 $a20th century american history. 610 $aafrican americans. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasian americans. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $acity spaces. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $adiscrimination. 610 $adiversity. 610 $aethnic group. 610 $aethnicity. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainterethnic coalitions. 610 $ainterracial relationships. 610 $ajewish americans. 610 $amexican americans. 610 $aminority groups. 610 $anational conceptions. 610 $anative americans. 610 $arace in america. 610 $aracism. 610 $asociety. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $aurban spaces. 615 0$aMinorities$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 615 0$aRace discrimination 615 0$aHuman geography 676 $a305.8009794 700 $aVarzally$b Allison$f1972-$01482723 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782161103321 996 $aMaking a non-White America$93700545 997 $aUNINA
