But as Mark Wild demonstrates in this new study of Los Angeles, such districts often nurtured dynamic, diverse environments where residents interacted with individuals of other races and cultures. In fact, as his engaging account makes clear, between 1900 and 1940 such multiethnic areas mushroomed in Los Angeles. Street Meeting, enriched with oral histories, reminiscences, newspaper reports, and other sources, examines interactions among working-class Mexicans, Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Italians, African Americans, and others, reminding us that Los Angeles has been a multiethnic city since its birth. This study further argues that these ethnic interactions played a crucial role in the urban development of the United States during the early decades of the twentieth century. 606 $aEthnic neighborhoods$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a20th century american culture. 610 $a20th century american history. 610 $a20th century american society. 610 $aafrican americans. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $achinese americans. 610 $acity life. 610 $acommunist party. 610 $acorporate reconstruction. 610 $acrowded cities. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aimmigrants. 610 $aimmigration and emigration. 610 $aindigenous immigrant communities. 610 $aitalian americans. 610 $ajewish americans. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $amarriage. 610 $amexican americans. 610 $amultiethnic communities. 610 $arace in america. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $aurban development. 610 $aurbanization. 610 $aworking class. 615 0$aEthnic neighborhoods$xHistory 676 $a305.8/009794/9409041 700 $aWild$b Mark$f1970-$01467815 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783316503321 996 $aStreet meeting$93678661 997 $aUNINA
