The Rise Of The Golden City: Los Angeles In The Twentieth Century, Leslie Wilson
The Rise Of The Golden City: Los Angeles In The Twentieth Century, Leslie Wilson
Department of History Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
At the turn of the twentieth century, Los Angeles was poised to become the premier city on the West Coast.Within thirty years, the boosters, businessmen, and politicians made it a reality. These people believed that the twentieth century belonged to the city of Los Angeles, and they propelled the city into the forefront. They did so by constructing a massive aqueduct system; annexing lands to the east, west, and south of its original borders; developing a harbor; building a massive infrastructure including roads and rail lines; instituting the nation’s first zoning laws; and fostering financial investment. By 1930, the city …

Reconfiguring Childhood Boys And Girls Growing Up Global, Cindi Katz
Reconfiguring Childhood Boys And Girls Growing Up Global, Cindi Katz
Publications and Research
Children are a spur, a commitment, a way of imaging the future—but all too often these sorts of phrases just rattle around a vacuum, their utterance the beginning and end of the commitment. We emphasize “the best interests of the child,”but this gloss provides a moral imperative to all manner of uncompleted projects and unfulfilled policies. Likewise, the use of children’s images or presence in public forums of all types gives a patina of honorableness to practices and plans that never actually make good on the promissory note of childhood. The 1992 Rio Earth Summit is a notable example. Such …
The Origin Of Portland, Oregon's Waterfront Park: A Paradigm Shift In City Planning (1967-1978), Michael Anthony Jenner
The Origin Of Portland, Oregon's Waterfront Park: A Paradigm Shift In City Planning (1967-1978), Michael Anthony Jenner
Dissertations and Theses
The present thesis chronicles the decision to replace Portland, Oregon's Harbor Drive, a downtown highway located between Front A venue and the Willamette River, with Tom McCall Waterfront Park, a thirty-seven acre linear greenway, in the late 1960s and 1970s. These events provide an example of the battle against the ascendancy of the automobile and the ability of concerned citizen groups to affect city planning decisions.

The Production Of Popular Music As A Confidence Game: The Case Of The Chicago Blues, David Grazian
The Production Of Popular Music As A Confidence Game: The Case Of The Chicago Blues, David Grazian
David Grazian
In this article I argue that the production of live music shares many formal properties with that of confidence games: specifically, (1) a set of structural relationships in which operators, ropers, insiders, shills and marks are enmeshed, (2) the deployment of carefully planned strategies of deception, and (3) a pattern of success owed in part to the moral and financial motivations of insiders, the willingness of the state to assist in the enterprise, and the desire among victims to be swayed by the production. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in some of Chicago’s most popular blues clubs, I examine these …
