There are few places where mobility has shaped identity as widely
as the American West, but some locations and populations sit at its
major crossroads, maintaining control over place and mobility,
labor and race. In Collisions at the Crossroads, Genevieve Carpio
argues that mobility, both permission to move freely and
prohibitions on movement, helped shape racial formation in the
eastern suburbs of Los Angeles and the Inland Empire throughout the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By examining policies and
forces as different as historical societies, Indian boarding
schools, bicycle ordinances, immigration policy, incarceration,
traffic checkpoints, and Route 66 heritage, she shows how local
authorities constructed a racial hierarchy by allowing some people
to move freely while placing limits on the mobility of others.
Highlighting the ways people of color have negotiated their place
within these systems, Carpio reveals a compelling and perceptive
analysis of spatial mobility through physical movement and
residence.
