Making Do, Making Home: Borders and the Worlds of Chinatown and Sonoratown in Early Twentieth-Century Los Angeles

Dezember 4, 2014, 12:34 a.m., Quintana, I. S. L., Allgemein.

The racialized and gendered regulations of national borders through the industrialization of neighborhood geographies had a tremendous impact on daily work, home architecture, and social relationships in the Chinatown and Sonoratown neighborhoods of Los Angeles during the early twentieth century. Using space and gender as analytic lenses, this article examines the built environments of house courts in Sonoratown and Chinatown as windows into the everyday lives of Mexican and Chinese Angelenos. Women’s ordering of domestic space and intimate labor in and around the home spaces—in particular, their use of common spaces like courtyards and alleyways—blurred the categories that city and state agents designated for family, home, and nation, as they shaped conceptions of community that exceeded the logic of the nation-state.

Revolutionizing the Tragic City: Rebuilding Chimbote, Peru, after the 1970 Earthquake

Dezember 4, 2014, 12:34 a.m., Clarke, N., Allgemein.

This article studies how the Peruvian government reacted to the massive May 31, 1970, earthquake in the country’s leading fishing port and the home to its only steel mill. While earthquake did not damage the boomtown of Chimbote like it did the highlands, the progressive, antioligarchical military government seized on the destruction of the earthquake to assert power in ways it could not have exercised before. The generals set out to remake Chimbote in their image, preparing a nine-volume, two-thousand-page plan that would convert the port into an industrial paradise. While this plan proved too ambitious for a crumbling (politically, socially, and economically) Revolutionary Government, their plans exemplify the role of creative destruction and its limitations. The earthquake provided the generals with their only opportunity to get Chimbote’s growth under control and to implement their ideas of creating a progressive and participationist Peru. The plan’s collapse, much like the revolutionary government itself, left Chimbote as a city of failed aspirations.
