Utilizing the\u00a0legal history\u00a0perspective\u00a0of\u00a0The History of Los Angeles: As Seen from the City Attorney’s Office<\/em> provides consistent issues that concern all of my sources: housing, land, water, transportation,\u00a0immigration, and integration of the newcomer. Erika Lee’s book\u00a0At America’s Gates: Chinese Immigration During the Exclusion Action 1882-1943<\/em>, asserts that the United States ceased being a nation of welcoming immigration and integration without restrictive\u00a0borders. Its policy of becoming a ‘gate-keeping’ nation with an active\u00a0federal control set the standards of race and class. This new policy shift affected immigrant patterns, communities, and racial identities and led to America’s exclusionary culture. Los Angeles culture becomes affected by\u00a018th-century\u00a0European colonization ideologies and its\u00a019th-century\u00a0expansion and area migration of immigrants. The culture mixture and clashes of perceived\u00a0identity and community are formed by American’s industrialization and desire for globalizing dominance.<\/p>\n

In Williams Estrada’s article\u00a0Los Angeles’ Old Plaza and Olvera Street: Imagined and Contested Spaces\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Phoebe S. Kropp’s book\u00a0California Vieja<\/em>\u00a0reconcile Los Angeles’s cultural Spanish past through investment of cultural memory through the creation of built environment. In an ambitious attempt to create Southern California a geographical space of work, live and play, and desire to honor local history, they focus on the romanticized memory of Olvera Street. Anglos’ primary vision to desire yet disdain non-Anglo culture is a consistent strategy found in the 19th century and 20th century. The incorporation of constructed places becomes a place of political struggle and reconciliation. Historical areas like China City, now Chinatown, and Senoratown, now Olvera Street are created out of space for Anglo-American’s consumption of traditional culture. On the other side, it forces the excluded to create personal ecologies within these jarred landscapes in Los Angeles. Forming ethnic enclaves into the\u00a0physical\u00a0landscape is a theme throughout all of the works when building the industry\u00a0in the Los Angeles area.\u00a0The public practices of social distinction are organizing culture through Anglo-American cultures and traditions a reader can gain a sense of how Los Angeles creates these boundaries.<\/p>\n
