Описание: The promises and conflicts faced by public figures, artists, and leaders of Northeast Los Angeles as they enliven and defend their neighborhoods Los Angeles is well known as a sprawling metropolis with endless freeways that can make the city feel isolating and separate its communities. Yet in the past decade, as Jan Lin argues in Taking Back the Boulevard, there has been a noticeable renewal of public life on several of the city’s iconic boulevards, including Atlantic, Crenshaw, Lankershim, Sunset, Western, and Wilshire. These arteries connect neighborhoods across the city, traverse socioeconomic divides and ethnic enclaves, and can be understood as the true locational heart of public life in the metropolis. Focusing especially on the cultural scene of Northeast Los Angeles, Lin shows how these gentrifying communities help satisfy a white middle-class consumer demand for authentic experiences of “living on the edge” and a spirit of cultural rebellion. These neighborhoods have gone through several stages, from streetcar suburbs, to disinvested neighborhoods with the construction of freeways and white flight, to immigrant enclaves, to the home of Chicano/a artists in the 1970s. Those artists were then followed by non-Chicano/a, white artists, who were later threatened with displacement by gentrifiers attracted by the neighborhoods’ culture, street life, and green amenities that earlier inhabitants had worked to create. Lin argues that gentrification is not a single transition, but a series of changes that disinvest and re-invest neighborhoods with financial and cultural capital. Drawing on community survey research, interviews with community residents and leaders, and ethnographic observation, this book argues that the revitalization in Northeast LA by arts leaders and neighborhood activists marks a departure in the political culture from the older civic engagement to more socially progressive coalition work involving preservationists, environmentalists, citizen protestors, and arts organizers. Finally, Lin explores how accelerated gentrification and mass displacement of Latino/a and working-class households in the 2010s has sparked new rounds of activism as the community grapples with new class conflicts and racial divides in the struggle to self-determine its future.

Trust the journey-everything happens for a reason.
Those words, said to James Hemingway after his divorce, sting. What stings more is that Hemingway's stuck at a run-down rental cabin after his wife gets half of his savings. Things can't get much worse.
In the direst of times, Hemingway takes comfort in his conversations with Tex, the straight-talking World War II veteran renting out the cabin. He begins to realize that he isn't questioning life. Rather, life is questioning him. How he answers slowly changes as he finds real friends, enjoys a few wild adventures, and discovers a kind of peace that he hadn't known before.
Hemingway-a man with a name similar to a great writer-rewrites his own life story with a happier ending. As he does, he begins to experience these truths on an unexpected spiritual journey that shows him, what's for you shall not pass. If you've ever loved and lost, pour yourself a cup of coffee, grab this book, and accompany Hemingway on the boulevard of life.

When Noah Whitmore's 17-year-old cousin Lukas turned up on his doorstep one day, four years ago, it was a life-defining moment for both of them.
As a single, thirty-something teacher with a personal life that was akin to a vacuum, Noah now found that he had someone in his life that needed direction and a father figure that would provide it.
With neither of Lukas' parents interested in having custody of him, it fell to Noah to be there when it was soccer practice, auditioning for the school play or when the chance of adventure in far-flung Switzerland beckoned.
This bitter-sweet story of self-discovery, family and identity is told in My Life with Lukas (On Topanga Canyon Boulevard), through a series of 12 snapshots in time and is one that provides moments of reflective sadness, but also of an enduring hope that is always present when two kindred souls collide.
