City of Segregation traces the central role racism has played in
shaping modern Los Angeles-as it has shaped all US cities. Andrea
Gibbons documents one hundred years of struggle against the
enforced separation of racial groups through property markets,
constructions of community and the growth of neoliberalism. This
movement history covers the decades of work to end legal support
for segregation in 1948; the 1960s Civil Rights movement and CORE's
efforts to integrate LA's white suburbs; and the 2006 victory
preserving 10,000 downtown residential hotel units from
gentrification enfolded within ongoing resistance to the
criminalization and displacement of homelessness. This is a story
of state-supported segregation, violent grassroots defense of white
neighborhoods, police oppression, and growing political and
economic inequalities. In studying these conflicts-and their cycles
of victory and retreat-City of Segregation reveals the shape and
nature of the racist ideology that must be fought if we hope to
found just cities.
