Abstract:This article examines the political mobilization of Japanese Americans by the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) against the 1969 firing of Los Angeles County Coroner Thomas Noguchi. By challenging the racism in the Noguchi case, the JACL opened a public discussion of the racism behind wartime incarceration, rejecting the quiescence that had marked Japanese Americans as the "model minority." Activism in the Noguchi case proved the potential of grassroots organizing and built experience in forming cross-racial political alliances, effectively shaping political narrative in the media, and exercising clout in city politics. For Japanese Americans and the JACL, these experiences shaped a new political sensibility that underscored civil rights and served as a precursor to the later redress movement.

The Lovell Health House (1927–1929) by Richard Neutra for Dr. Phillip Lovell and his wife, Leah Lovell, was a turning point in modern architecture. The house not only carried out Phillip Lovell’s principles of healthy living, it also incorporated a school conducted along the progressive educational theories embraced by Leah Lovell. This article identifies the educational features in Neutra’s plan. Interviews with one of the last remaining students of the school shed light on the students and faculty and how the design served the school’s curriculum. Neutra’s innovative design accommodating the progressive educational program at the Lovell Health House belongs in any discussion of the later school designs for which he won lasting acclaim.

Anita de la Guerra of Santa Barbara married Boston merchant Alfred Robinson in 1836. Taken to the East Coast the following year, she diligently pursued her education and she acculturated while retaining her own priorities, including a patriotic position on Mexican California opposed to her husband’s espousal of “American colonization.” She also facilitated East Coast educations for her children and several nephews that would enhance their opportunities in the new U.S. state of California. In 1852 she was finally able to reunite with her family and fit back into Californio society. The author bases this Californiana’s character and cultural agility on a cache of letters written by Anita de la Guerra, complemented by those written by Robinson and the de la Guerra family.
1836年，圣巴巴拉的Anita de la Guerra嫁给了波士顿商人Alfred Robinson。第二年，她被带到东海岸，勤奋地接受教育，融入当地文化，同时保留了自己的优先事项，包括对墨西哥加州的爱国立场，反对她丈夫支持“美国殖民”。她还帮助她的孩子和几个侄子在东海岸接受教育，这将增加他们在美国新成立的加利福尼亚州的机会。1852年，她终于能够与家人团聚，重新融入加州社会。作者根据安妮塔·德拉格拉所写的大量信件，以及罗宾逊和德拉格拉家族所写的信件，描述了这位加州人的性格和文化灵活性。

Forging Communities, a volume of recent archaeological and ethnohistorical scholarship, offers nine case studies, an introduction, and an epilogue that analyze Native Californians’ strategies for preserving ceremonial activities, material production, and community identities in the wake of colonialism. The contributors’ focus on community formation takes readers outside of the usual colonial spaces like missions, pueblos, or presidios. While the authors acknowledge that colonial conditions devastated communities or limited Native peoples’ options for survival, a significant contribution of this volume is that it demonstrates the multiplicity of communities that existed in Spanish, Mexican, and early American California (134–141). The studies offer examples of varied political, economic, and cultural connections between missionized and nonmissionized peoples, the establishment of multiethnic Native communities at missions, ranchos, and pueblos, and connections between Natives and nonNatives, thus offering readers a deeper appreciation of the varied forms of belonging and social obligations that existed historically across vast distances. The authors avoid a hard distinction between the precolonial and colonial, highlighting instead tactics and strategies of community formation and communal belonging dating back hundreds and even thousands of years (12, 21).

At the height of the Cold War, in both the US and the Soviet Union, top technical talent was ensconced in state-of-the-art laboratories set among new suburbs with cultural amenities. In Orange County, California, defense research labs were enticed by capitalist strategies; in the USSR, by government command. In both, the new white-collar suburbs made moves to the new centers attractive. The architecture of the housing as well as of the research labs reveals the faith in technology, shifting to a bunker mentality in the Vietnam era. In the USSR, research institutes were set far from city centers. Their architecture and artworks were boldly modern, their engineers and scientists housed in modern apartments among parklands. Reflecting declining military contracts by the 1990s, Orange County’s “think factories” were demolished or repurposed; upscale master-planned communities drew affluent commuters. Former Soviet research institutes morphed into universities and computer and electronics centers, surrounded by exclusive residential communities. There are striking parallels.
