DESCRIPTION:
Scott Kurashige will present a talk arguing that the long historical struggles to remake Los Angeles from a ?white city? into a multicultural ?world city? open up a critical window for making sense of Barack Obama?s campaign for presidency?and the future of U.S. politics. Kurashige is the author of The Shifting Grounds of Race: Black and Japanese Americans in the Making of Multiethnic Los Angeles, which breaks down how Asian Americans, Blacks, Latinos/as, and whites in neighborhoods from Crenshaw to Boyle Heights worked together to create new definitions of community in a city whose civic and political leaders proudly proclaimed themselves to be defenders of white supremacy less than a century ago.

Kurashige?s talk will draw on the lessons of this history to show why no serious candidate for the presidency from here on out can ignore the mandate to build a multiracial coalition?one built not on carving people into ?minority interest groups? but on a new collective majority. The event will take place at the Southern California Library, 6120 S. Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles (between Slauson and Gage), on Saturday, March 1, 2008, 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Admission is free. For more information, go to www.socallib.org or call (323) 759-6063.
