Latinx Stories of Los Angeles
USC experts discuss their work and recent books, each highlighting a different neighborhood in L.A. and the Latinx contributions to the city\u2019s history. These three books are changing and challenging some of the historical ways Latinx L.A. has been written about. What does talking about Latinx historiography or \u201cLatinidad\u201d in Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and South Central LA mean? How have these communities transformed over time and how can we expect them to change in the future? And what does it mean in terms of issues around democracy, power and politics?
