SUMMARY:The New Suburbia: How Diversity Remade Suburban Life in Los Angeles after 1945
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nAmerica’s suburbs have been transforming. The conventional story of suburbs as bastions of white\, middle-class homeowners no longer describes suburban realities. Today they house a more typical cross-section of the nation—rich\, poor\, Black American\, Latino\, Asian\, immigrant\, the unhoused\, the lavishly housed\, and everyone in between. Stories of everyday suburban life\, in the process\, have taken on new inflections. \nNowhere are these changes more vivid than in Los Angeles. In this suburban metropolis and global powerhouse\, lily white suburbs have virtually disappeared\, and over two-thirds of the County’s suburbs have become majority minority\, placing LA at the vanguard of national changes. In Los Angeles\, suburban diversification happened earlier and more intensively\, offering a glimpse into what may well be America’s future. In The New Suburbia\, historian Becky Nicolaides follows the Asian Americans\, Black Americans\, and Latinos who moved into white neighborhoods that once barred them. They bought homes\, enrolled their children in schools\, and began navigating suburban life. In places like Pasadena\, San Marino\, South Gate\, and Lakewood\, suburbanites faced the challenges of living together in difference. In some communities\, diverse residents continued longstanding habits of exclusion and perpetuated metropolitan inequality. In others\, they embraced more inclusive\, multicultural suburban ideals. Through it all\, the common denominators of suburbia remained—low-slung landscapes of single-family homes and families seeking the good life. \nBased on a half-century of quantitative data and unpublished oral histories and interviews\, The New Suburbia explores vital landscapes where the American dream has endured\, even as the dreamers have changed. \nA virtual presentation by Becky N. Nicolaides\, author\, historian\, and Research Affiliate at the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:Al Martinez in the Korean War: A Future Columnist Hones His Craft
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nFor more than twenty years\, the Los Angeles Times columnist Al Martinez (1929-2015) delighted\, and enriched the lives of\, thousands of readers across southern California. An Oakland native\, he attended San Francisco State College. Later\, he was a reporter for the Richmond Independent and the Oakland Tribune before being lured to Los Angeles to write for the Times. By the time he retired in 2009\, he had earned an extensive array of awards and honors\, including three shared Pulitzers and the National Headliner Award for the best column in the U.S. \nBefore becoming a professional journalist\, Martinez served in the Korean War at the age of 21 with the U.S. Marines\, from 1951-1952\, first on the battle front and then as a war correspondent. He dispatched letters almost daily to his young bride Joanne. \nNow a volume of Al Martinez’ Korean War letters\, I Promise You I’ll Be Home\, has been published by McFarland and Co. Written from the unique perspective of an obviously gifted professional writer at the beginning of his career\, his letters home capture his experiences eloquently and with depth of understanding as they express the dangers\, hardships\, fear\, friendships\, and even humor of life at the front. His vivid\, often humorous pen-and-ink drawings portray scenes from the front lines. \nThe letters are all housed in the archive of his papers at The Huntington Library. They form not only an important record for the history of the largely ignored Korean War\, but also a crackling good narrative of one Marine’s time at the battle front and as a combat correspondent. Even as a young writer\, he was among the very best in storytelling and in the elegance of his prose. \nA virtual presentation by Sara S. Hodson\, author and retired curator of literary collections for The Huntington Library \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:California: A Slave State
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nCalifornia owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives—the first slaves transported into California—and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California’s carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. \nBy looking west to California\, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought\, fled\, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews\, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery\, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows\, or sold as nannies and sex workers. \nA virtual presentation by Jean Pfaelzer\, author and professor emerita of English and American Studies\, University of Delaware \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:The Material Culture of Advertising: Treasures from the Winterthur Library’s Collection of Trade Literature
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nBefore Amazon\, before big box stores\, and even before mailboxes sagged under the weight of catalogs in the mid-20th century\, customers and shop-owners alike turned to a wide variety of media to select their purchases\, and to aspire to grander lifestyles. Trade cards\, trade catalogs\, advertising ephemera\, and sales samples illuminate the art of buying\, selling\, and dreaming in the past\, painting a picture of the everyday lives of Americans as consumers. These items can be quite beautiful – they were created to facilitate sales\, after all – and reflect broader aesthetic trends\, as well as advertising styles\, cultural values\, and the distribution of products historically. And beyond its intended use as a promotional tool\, trade media often found a second life at the hands of 19th century scrapbookers. \nThe dynamic nature of trade material makes it a valuable tool for research\, as well as creative inspiration. The Winterthur Library\, located outside Wilmington\, Delaware\, holds a vibrant and vast collection of such trade material\, including fabric swatch books\, hand-drawn watercolor catalogs\, engraved promotional cards\, chromolithographed labels\, and more – hundreds of thousands of items. Join Winterthur Library Curator of Special Collections Allie Alvis as they journey through 400 years of advertising and promotion in America and Europe\, highlighting some of the wonderful (and sometimes weird) trade treasures from the library’s collection and presenting them in the broader milieu of material culture. \nA virtual presentation by Alexandra Alvis\, book historian and curator\, special collections\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library \n\nClick here to REGISTER for the Virtual Presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:Hardly Harmless Drudgery: Landmarks in English Lexicography
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nJoin us for a Virtual Tour and Curator Q&A \nJoin the Grolier Club for a pre-recorded video walk-through of the “Hardly Harmless Drudgery” exhibition followed by a live Q&A via Zoom with the show’s co-curators\, Bryan Garner and Jack Lynch. This public exhibition is on view at the Grolier Club through July 27\, 2024. \nAbout this Exhibition \nSamuel Johnson\, creator of the first great English dictionary\, wickedly mocked his own trade when he defined lexicographer as “A writer of dictionaries; a harmless drudge\, that busies himself in tracing the original\, and detailing the signification of words.” But dictionaries are serious business\, and the people who drudge away at them are anything but harmless. Co-curated by Grolier Club members Bryan A. Garner (Distinguished Research Professor of Law at Southern Methodist University) and Jack Lynch (Distinguished Professor of English at Rutgers University)\, Hardly Harmless Drudgery traces the history of English-language lexicography from its origins to its digital present in some 100 objects\, from early printed books to CD-ROMs. Highlights include important dictionaries and manuscripts—mostly from Garner’s collection—including items from Johnson\, Noah Webster\, and the Oxford English Dictionary\, as well as portraits\, advertisements\, lexicographic ephemera\, and letters. An accompanying monograph from Godine was published in March 2024. \nRegister Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-tour-and-curator-qa-hardly-harmless-drudgery-tickets-944311780957?aff=ebemoffollowpublishemail&ref=eemail&utm_campaign=following_published_event&utm_content=follow_notification&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eventbrite
