Following the stream of Mexican, Chinese, and African American migration, <strong>Julian Lim<\/strong> presents a fresh study of the multiracial intersections of the borderlands, where diverse peoples crossed multiple boundaries in search of new economic opportunities and social relations. However, as these migrants came together in ways that blurred and confounded elite expectations of racial order, both the United States and Mexico resorted to increasingly exclusionary immigration policies in order to make the multiracial populations of the borderlands less visible within the body politic, and to remove them from the boundaries of national identity altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Using a variety of English- and Spanish-language primary sources from both sides of the border, Lim reveals how a borderlands region that has traditionally been defined by Mexican-Anglo relations was in fact shaped by a diverse population that came together dynamically through work and play, in the streets and in homes, through war and marriage, and in the very act of crossing the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-QYRAeZuH6k\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-QYRAeZuH6k\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Julian Lim<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-QYRAeZuH6k\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-QYRAeZuH6k\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Julian Lim is an associate\u00a0professor of History at Arizona State University.\u00a0She holds a bachelor&#8217;s degree\u00a0in\u00a0literature and a law degree\u00a0from\u00a0UC Berkeley, and\u00a0received\u00a0her doctorate in history from Cornell University.\u00a0Trained in history and law, she focuses on immigration, borders, and race, and has taught in both\u00a0history department and law school\u00a0settings.<\/p>\n<p>Lim&#8217;s award-winning first book,\u00a0<em>Porous Borders: Multiracial Migrations and the Law\u00a0in the\u00a0U.S.-Mexico Borderlands\u00a0<\/em>(University of North Carolina Press, 2017), examines the history of diverse immigrants in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and the development of immigration policy and law on both sides of the border.

Kim<\/strong> reexamines the rise of Los Angeles from a small town to a global city against the backdrop of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, Gilded Age economics, and American empire. It is a far-reaching transnational history, chronicling how Los Angeles boosters transformed the borderlands through urban and imperial capitalism at the end of the nineteenth century and how the Mexican Revolution redefined those same capitalist networks into the twentieth.<\/p>\n<p>Kim draws on archives in the United States and Mexico to argue that financial networks emerging from Los Angeles drove economic transformations in the borderlands, reshaped social relations across wide swaths of territory, and deployed racial hierarchies to advance investment projects across the border. However, the Mexican Revolution, with its implicit critique of imperialism, disrupted the networks of investment and exploitation that had structured the borderlands for sixty years, and reconfigured transnational systems of infrastructure and trade. Kim provides the first history to connect Los Angeles\u2019s urban expansionism with more continental and global currents, and what results is a rich account of real and imagined geographies of city, race, and empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-aAtrXtWPCK\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-aAtrXtWPCK\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Jessica M.

In the late nineteenth century, the U.S.-Mexican borderlands constituted one stop of many where Americans chased capitalist dreams beyond the United States. Crisscrossing the American West, southern Africa, and northern Mexico, <strong>Andrew Offenburger<\/strong> examines how these frontier spaces could glitter with grandiose visions, expose the flawed and immoral strategies of profiteers, and yet reveal the capacity for resistance and resilience that indigenous people summoned when threatened. Linking together a series of stories about Boer exiles who settled in Mexico, a global network of protestant missionaries, and adventurers involved in the parallel displacements of indigenous peoples in Rhodesia and the Yaqui Indians in Mexico, Offenburger situates the borderlands of the Mexican North and the American Southwest within a global system, bound by common actors who interpreted their lives through a shared frontier ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-KUYoEvK8kB\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-KUYoEvK8kB\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Andrew Offenburger<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-KUYoEvK8kB\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-KUYoEvK8kB\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Dr. Andrew Offenburger is an assistant professor of history at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio).

As the essays here demonstrate, Anglo-Americans have been simultaneously experimenting with representative government and struggling with the corrosive legacy of racial thinking for more than four centuries. Virginia, contrary to popular stereotypes, was not the product of thoughtless, greedy, or impatient English colonists. Instead, the emergence of stable English Atlantic colonies reflected the deliberate efforts of an array of actors to establish new societies based on their ideas about commonwealth, commerce, and colonialism. Looking back from 2019, we can understand that what happened on the shores of the Chesapeake four hundred years ago was no accident. Slavery and freedom were born together as migrants and English officials figured out how to make this colony succeed. They did so in the face of rival ventures and while struggling to survive in a dangerous environment. Three hallmarks of English America&#8211;self-government, slavery, and native dispossession&#8211;took shape as everyone contested the future of empire along the James River in 1619.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the EMSI panel can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/emsi\/annual-conference-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>This conference is co-sponsored by the\u00a0EMSI American Origins Seminar Series\u00a0and the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West.<\/em><\/p>\n<h6>_________________________________________________________________________<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--spacer \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--spacer\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h3 class=\"article-title\"><strong><em>In the Country of Women<\/em>: A Conversation between Susan Straight and Lisa See<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In Conversation: Susan Straight: In the Country of Women by The Huntington\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F684296305&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>September 16, 2019<\/p>\n<p>Rothenberg Hall, The Huntington<\/p>\n<p>Award-winning author <strong>Susan Straight<\/strong> is joined by novelist <strong>Lisa See<\/strong> for a conversation about Straight&#8217;s powerful new memoir,\u00a0<em>In the Country of Women<\/em>, which traces the lives of six generations of immigrant and multiracial women in her extended family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-bGhlcp_hCN\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-bGhlcp_hCN\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Susan Straight<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-bGhlcp_hCN\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-bGhlcp_hCN\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Susan Straight has published eight novels, including<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><em>Highwire Moon<\/em>,<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><em>Between Heaven and Here<\/em>, and<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><em>A Million Nightingales<\/em>.

Yet swap meets have persisted.\u00a0Their resemblance to the pre-Hispanic\u00a0<i>tianguis<\/i>\u00a0market, affordable prices, and familial atmosphere continue to attract millions of vendors and shoppers each year.\u00a0In this case study of the San Fernando Swap Meet, Brown-Bernstein demonstrates that swap meets are an enduring space of class solidarity and cultural hybridity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-2-PLcl50_pqb\" aria-controls=\"section-1-2-PLcl50_pqb\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Laura Dominguez<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-2-PLcl50_pqb\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-2-PLcl50_pqb\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>&#8220;Courtyard Sisters: Interpreting Progressivism at the International Institute of Los Angeles&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On a January afternoon in 1932, a multiracial assembly of Los Angeles residents gathered in Boyle Heights to dedicate a new building as a tribute to the city&#8217;s international character and progressive spirit. For nearly two decades, social workers at the International Institute of Los Angeles had served thousands of immigrant women from their perch on the city&#8217;s eastside. The organization&#8217;s new Spanish Colonial Revival structure reaffirmed its vow to fashion worthy citizens and to model inter-group cooperation. Laura Dominguez&#8217;s work explores how this understudied group of reformers policed the borders of Anglo settler imaginations in Progressive-Era Los Angeles and contemplates the built legacy of Americanization in the city today.<\/p>\n<p>Julia\u2019s article, \u201cUnder the Canopy: Finding Belonging at the San Fernando Swap Meet, 1976-2019\u201d was published in the\u00a0<i>Journal of American Ethnic History\u00a0<\/i>fall 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Before pursuing her PhD, Julia was a public school teacher in the San Fernando Valley.

Mr. Hata sent the letter from Heart Mountain, Wyoming on May 4, 1943, just a few short months after his family and neighbors were evacuated from the Yakima Valley. Mr. Hata\u2019s letter is one of 57 that McDonald\u2019s family kept in their family archive. In the span of four years, McDonald received and responded to dozens of individuals as they requested favors, inquired about the harvest, and negotiated the use of their place of worship, the Yakima Buddhist Bussei Kaikan.

But the more immediate grievance was anger at the racist and abusive practices of the Los Angeles Police Department. Yet in the decades after Watts, the LAPD resisted all but the most limited demands for reform made by activists and residents of color, instead intensifying its power.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>Policing Los Angeles<\/em>, <strong>Max Felker-Kantor<\/strong> narrates the dynamic history of policing, anti-police abuse movements, race, and politics in Los Angeles from the 1965 Watts uprising to the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion. Using the explosions of two large-scale uprisings in Los Angeles as bookends, Felker-Kantor highlights the racism at the heart of the city&#8217;s expansive police power through a range of previously unused and rare archival sources. His book is a gripping and timely account of the transformation in police power, the convergence of interests in support of law and order policies, and African American and Mexican American resistance to police violence after the Watts uprising.<\/p>\n<p><em>This programming is brought to you by the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West, USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study, USC Libraries and the USC Libraries Collections Convergence Initiative (CCI).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-wJd2tnQox7\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-wJd2tnQox7\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Max Felker-Kantor<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-wJd2tnQox7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-wJd2tnQox7\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>Max Felker-Kantor has taught at Ball State as Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor of History since 2018.\u00a0 He received his PhD in 2014 from the University of Southern California.

By way of contextualization,\u00a0<strong>Edward Chang<\/strong>\u00a0(UC Riverside) will offer an ethnographic and historical account of Riverside\u2019s Pachappa Camp, which was the very first Korean enclave in the United States.\u00a0<strong>Ji-Young Yi<\/strong>\u00a0(Chungbuk University) will then shift the focus to Thun&#8217;s literary production, looking in particular at two full-length novels that, while set in Thun&#8217;s native Korean province, can revealingly be read along with the earliest examples of diasporic Korean American literature. Finally,\u00a0<strong>Jae-moon Hwang<\/strong>\u00a0(Seoul National University) will discuss the thematic, formal, and linguistic characteristics of Thun\u2019s short stories that are set in Los Angeles and Riverside.
