Multiracial Struggle at the Heart of American Studies Scholarship
Building Collective Leadership for Culture Change
This book shows how five community engagement research projects in the greater Los Angeles area were able to create more collaborative and participatory cultures in their academic institutions and nonacademic settings by using community organizing, research in action, and narrative inquiry. These projects focused on incorporating civic engagement into the work of scholars, creating a civic engagement minor at California State University, Domingue…
Opening the Humanities to New Fields & New Voices
This essay explores efforts to enact effective “public humanities” among humanities practitioners as the “public” in the United States is changing profoundly. In particular, it explores the creation of the Boyle Heights Museum in East Los Angeles as an attempt to bridge the gap in historical practice and outreach between an immigrant and Latino community with a team of faculty, doctoral, and undergraduate students from the University of Southern …
Democracy in Trump's America
This past year has been a critical year for scholars interested in the fate of democracy in the United States. As president of the Organization of American Historians (Oah), I was faced with responding to almost daily crises of democratic practice as President Donald Trump tried desperately to hold onto power in his final year amid his failed responses to the pandemic and his electoral loss to Joe Biden. The valiant and ultimately successful atte…

Race as a Relational Theory
Why Are Multiracial Communities So Dangerous
This essay was the author’s presidential address at the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Branch, American Historical Association, in Waikoloa Beach, Hawai’i, on August 6, 2016. The address compares three multiracial communities—in Boyle Heights, California; Cape Town, South Africa; and various sites in Hawai’i—and asks why these areas often sparked controversy and were considered dangerous by the powers governing these societies. How these com…
Latino History
In her 2006 Organization of American Historians (oah) presidential address, Vicki Ruiz invoked José Martí's landmark 1891 essay “Nuestra América” in calling for a more comprehensive, transhemispheric vision of the U.S. past, one that understands “Latino history as United States history.” For more than four decades, scholars have written about U.S. Latina and Latino experiences, often under the rubric of Mexican American or Chicano, Puerto Rican, …

Introduction
The transfer of the editorial and administrative offices of the American Quarterly to the University of Southern California and Los Angeles affords us an opportunity to explore the meaning of the abstraction "America" in 2004. Los Angeles is a site of struggle and servitude, imagination and affluence, gluttonous greed, and punitive poverty. It is a place where people secure unpredictable pleasures and suffer unendurable pain. Learning from Los An…
What's Good for Boyle Heights Is Good for the Jews
Two magazine articles published in the mid-1950s pointed to the Boyle Heights neighborhood in East Los Angeles as an "example of democratic progress" to a national audience. The first, published in October 1954 in Fortnight, focused on the diverse group of Boyle Heights residents and organizations that gathered together to fight the proposed $32 million Golden State Freeway that would invade Hollenbeck Park and destroy some of the oldest mansions…
Creating the Multicultural Nation
This chapter provides a critical examination of the relationship between the newly restored field of American Studies and the various fields of Ethnic Studies. It investigates a particular ideological focus of more recent work in American Studies, which claims to be “post-ethnic” in analysis and motivation. It is then argued that present discussions on the place of the two fields of Ethnic Studies and American Studies in academia and on certain U…

By focusing on the Los Angeles riots and other evidence of the rise of anti-immigrant feelings among the population, this study reveals that a racial nativism has arisen which intertwines a new American racism with traditional hostility towards new immigrants in a variety of ways.
