This vividly detailed cultural history of L.A. from 1940 to 1970 traces the rise of a new suburban consciousness adopted by a generation of migrants who abandoned older American cities for Southern California's booming urban region. Eric Avila explores expressions of this new "white identity" in popular culture with provocative discussions of Hollywood and film noir, Dodger Stadium, Disneyland, and L.A.'s renowned freeways. These institutions not only mirrored this new culture of suburban whiteness and helped shape it, but also, as Avila argues, reveal the profound relationship between the increasingly fragmented urban landscape of Los Angeles and the rise of a new political outlook that rejected the tenets of New Deal liberalism and anticipated the emergence of the New Right. Avila examines disparate manifestations of popular culture in architecture, art, music, and more to illustrate the unfolding urban dynamics of postwar Los Angeles. He also synthesizes important currents of new research in urban history, cultural studies, and critical race theory, weaving a textured narrative about the interplay of space, cultural representation, and identity amid the westward shift of capital and culture in postwar America. 410 0$aAmerican crossroads ;$v13. 606 $aPopular culture$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublic spaces$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWhite people$xRace identity$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aSuburban life$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSuburban life in popular culture$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMigration, Internal$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles Region$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aCity and town life$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xRace relations 610 $a20th century. 610 $aart and architecture. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $aconservative right. 610 $acultural history. 610 $acultural representation. 610 $ademographic studies. 610 $adisneyland. 610 $afilm noir. 610 $ahollywood. 610 $aliberalism. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $amodern history. 610 $anew deal. 610 $anew right. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $apostwar america. 610 $aregional history. 610 $asouthern california. 610 $asuburban culture. 610 $asuburban landscape. 610 $asuburbs. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aurban landscape. 610 $aus history. 610 $awhite flight. 610 $awhite identity. 610 $aworld war ii. 610 $awwii. 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aPublic spaces$xHistory 615 0$aWhite people$xRace identity 615 0$aSuburban life$xHistory 615 0$aSuburban life in popular culture$xHistory 615 0$aMigration, Internal$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 676 $a979.4/94 700 $aAvila$b Eric$f1968-$01463397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783389303321 996 $aPopular culture in the age of white flight$93672676 997 $aUNINA
