Widely known in her time but almost totally forgotten today, Whitaker’s work illustrates the formative role of newspaperwomen in the expansion of Los Angeles in the early twentieth century, and specifically in promoting a settler fantasy that redefined notions of white women’s selfhood in the frontier space of Los Angeles. Her popular articles and columns both bolstered the white settler campaign to create Los Angeles as a white settlement and challenged patriarchal norms. Situating Whitaker within the emergence of the mass-circulating urban newspaper industry and the colonization of Los Angeles, this article contributes to the fields of women/gender history, hegemonic feminism, borderlands/California, and recent scholarship on settler colonialism as a framework for understanding U.S. history.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79880827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traveling from my home in Oakland to New York City ushered me into an enclosed series of paths that began with an AC Transit bus and continued via the BART train to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the ticketing zone at the International Terminal, the security line in front of the A gates, the concourse leading to my flight, the jet bridge, and the corridor of the Jet Blue Airbus A321 leading to my seat. Once at JFK in New York, a like set of passageways took me toward my rental car and the out-of-doors, my first mask-free breath of fresh and presumably virus-free air. I had negotiated this ten-hour-long route many times before, yet that day I became acutely aware of the sequestered nature of the airport/airplane and the ancillary...

Executives foresaw few problems. But opposition soon emerged, and from an unlikely source. Kathleen Jackson (1907–2001) was a Central Coast housewife and avid hiker. She loved the dunes. Against prohibitive odds, she succeeded in getting PG&E to move the plant some thirty miles north, to Diablo Canyon. But this decision fueled further opposition, also from an unlikely group, Mothers for Peace (MFP), based in San Luis Obispo. For more than a decade, MFP joined lawsuits targeting what they viewed as PG&E’s lackadaisical approach to safety issues. By 1981, a massive protest movement had emerged. That September, as low-level testing began, nearly 20,000 protesters blockaded the plant. Women played prominent roles in this effort as well, publicly linking the nuclear industry to patriarchal control of society. Diablo Canyon Power Plant went online in the mid-1980s, but opposition remained, as MFP continued to participate in lawsuits and publicize safety issues. Meanwhile, public polling revealed growing opposition to nuclear power in general. In 2016, PG&E announced it would shutter the plant in 2026. Executives did not acknowledge their role, but those largely responsible were women who kept the issue of nuclear power front and center in California for more than a half century.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75282397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, Prop 187 revealed the enduring place of undocumented people as “essential but unwanted.” Second, it represented both a victory and a defeat for the immigrants’ rights struggle. And finally, it represented both an end and a beginning in U.S. immigration history. By interpreting Prop 187 in this way, historians and other scholars should see the moment in more complex and elucidating ways than we have so far, not merely as a “turn” against undocumented immigrants characterized by a new form of nativism fueled by fears about demographic and cultural change, not merely as a moment that spurred action and a search for power among both undocumented immigrants and Latino U.S. citizens, and not merely as something that “foreshadowed” attempts to bring immigration policy under local control. Instead, a more holistic look, and one that takes a longer view of this story, stretching both farther back in time and closer to the present, reveals that Prop 187 was never an issue of importance only to California, and that while there was much that was “new” about this form of nativism, there was also much more that simply made Prop 187 the logical conclusion. Neither did California merely foreshadow other states’ attempts to take immigration into their own hands. Rather, California’s Prop 187 was a direct cause of their doing so.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"164 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77476588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The NWC was the first and only time that the U.S. federal government funded and authorized an event focused on women’s rights. Utilizing primary and oral history sources, we examine the political mobilization of women of color and lesbians from California. We focus on the efforts of these minoritized women to reach their respective communities and to form coalitions with one another, before and during the state meeting, in order to make collective impacts at the NWC. We make three arguments. First, these California activists built upon a longer tradition of political mobilization within and across communities defined in terms of race, indigeneity, and sexuality. Second, the timing of political engagement by women of color and lesbian-identified activists with the NWC, namely in the late 1970s, challenges the temporal understanding of so-called second-wave feminism, which tends to focus on the 1960s and early 1970s. Finally, the range of political ideas and strategies expressed at the California IWY Conference and the NWC reveals the intertwining of various ideologies and approaches to creating change. The NWC was a state-sponsored political event, but the grassroots mobilization that occurred at the local, state, and national levels enabled women of diverse backgrounds and beliefs to articulate and advocate for their political vision.","PeriodicalId":43253,"journal":{"name":"CALIFORNIA HISTORY","volume":"14 10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88246521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Situating himself in the recent “transnational turn in the historiography of interethnic relations” in the American West, he draws particularly on Grace Peña Delgado’s work on ethnic Chinese residents along the Arizona-Sonora borderlands and Eiichirō Azuma’s work on Japanese Americans within the broader Japanese empire (5). Tokunaga joins these authors in stressing the importance of analyzing the American West in terms of multiracial, multiethnic, and transnational hierarchies and structures, although he challenges Azuma’s somewhat static picture of racial hierarchies in favor of a more dynamic and changeable set of social structures.

In his first and most important book, The Comanche Empire (2008), Hämäläinen demonstrates how an Indigenous confederation dominated the southern Great Plains, fending off Spanish and American efforts to colonize the region. More recently, Hämäläinen’s Lakota America tells a similar story of Native power on the northern Great Plains through the nineteenth century. His latest book, Indigenous Continent: The Epic Contest for North America, applies that perspective to a continent over five hundred years: “Time and again, and across centuries, Indians blocked and destroyed colonial projects, forcing Euro-Americans to accept Native ways, Native sovereignty, and Native dominance. This is what the historical record shows when American history is detached from mainstream historical narratives that privilege European ambitions, European perspectives,...
