Latinx Stories of Los Angeles
USC experts discuss their work and recent books, each highlighting a different neighborhood in L.A. and the Latinx contributions to the city’s history. These three books are changing and challenging some of the historical ways Latinx L.A. has been written about. What does talking about Latinx historiography or “Latinidad” in Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and South Central LA mean? How have these communities transformed over time and how can we expect them to change in the future? And what does it mean in terms of issues around democracy, power and politics? Speakers include USC Dornsife faculty: Natalia Molina, MacArthur Foundation Fellow and Distinguished Professor of American Studies & Ethnicity Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, Florence Everline Professor of Sociology George J. Sanchez, Professor of American Studies & Ethnicity and History Manuel Pastor, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity and Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change Moderated by Juan De Lara, Associate Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity and Director, Latinx and Latin American Studies Center.
