Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Boyle Heights was one of the earliest residential areas outside of Los Angeles s original pueblo. From the 1920s through the 1950s, it was the city s most ethnically heterogeneous neighborhood with residents coming from such far-flung places as Mexico, Japan, England, Germany, Russia, and Armenia, as well as from the eastern, southern, and southwestern United States. Over the years, Boyle Heights has continued to be a focal point for new immigration. Transformed through the everyday interactions of its diverse residents as well as by political events occurring at the regional, national, and international levels, the neighborhood s historical and contemporary communities reflect the challenges and potential of living in a pluralistic society."
