Rural Urbanism: Producing Western Heritage and the Racial Geography of Postwar Los Angeles
2008
Overview
This article examines how the local production of Westerns shaped the postwar racial geography of Los Angeles's suburban San Fernando Valley. White suburban activists drew upon the ideologies about rural land that Westerns promoted and forged political coalitions with the mythmakers who crafted them to secure privileged land-use policies, resist residential integration, and justify white flight.
