Racial Dynamism in Los Angeles, 1900–1964

Abstract

Between 1900 and 1964 Los Angeles attracted a sizeable influx of African American tourists and new residents. While race relations may have been better than in the regions from which many of them came, they found a geography of racial restrictions on where they could find tourist lodgings and permanent places to live. A number of guidebooks for African American travelers were published, most famously the annual Green Books, informing readers of the roadside accommodations that would cater to people of color. An analysis of the guidebooks’ entries for Los Angeles, 1930–1964, provides insights on the changing nature of racial discrimination there. Many of the structures they listed are still extant and deserving of commemoration.

Establishing research priorities in prevention and control of vector-borne diseases in urban areas: a collaborative process

“…Based on the results of the scoping reviews, and to produce a list of priority research needs to be addressed in this area, the concept mapping method was used. This method has been used successfully in earlier experiences, for example, to develop conceptual frameworks [ 12 ], logic models [ 13 ], and measurement instruments [ 14 ], and to identify needs [ 15 , 16 ]. concept mapping has also been used to identify research priorities [ 17 ], and authors of the present article (Dagenais, Ridde) have demonstrated its usefulness in this regard [ 18 , 19 ].…”
