Автор: Bill Lascher Название: The Golden Fortress: Californias Border War on Dust Bowl Refugees ISBN: 1641606045 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781641606042 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 35680.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In February 1936, Los Angeles police officers drove hundreds of miles to Californias state borders with one mission: turn back anyone deemed too poor to enter. Myths of the Golden States abundance enticed thousands of Americans uprooted by the Depression, but those who created those myths saw only invading criminal "hordes" that they believed just one man could stop: James "Two-Gun" Davis, Los Angeless authoritarian police chief. The Golden Fortress tells the story of Daviss audacious deployment of hand-picked armed police slamming Californias door on Americas Dust Bowl refugees and Depression-displaced migrants. It depicts the sometimes deadly consequences of law enforcement politicized and weaponized against the poor, even in remote places like Modoc County, where a sheriffs opposition to the blockade inflamed an already smoldering feud between an itinerant newsman and a publisher obsessed with her California heritage. Davis, blessed by his citys ruling business class and fueled by his own wild claims of communist conspiracies undermining America, deployed his "Foreign Legion" to Californias state lines, threatening democracy even as the nations cities and rural communities juggled the burdens of economic recovery, migrant aid, and public safety. The Golden Fortress underscores the decades-long fight over who can access the American Dream.
1849--Gold Rush madness threatened to destroy California. Congress could not decide if the western territory should be admitted as a slave state or a free state. Something had to be done, and newly-appointed Military Governor Bennet C. Riley had the guts to do it: call a constitutional convention. Of the seventy-two men elected, forty-eight delegates left their homes and businesses to come to Monterey and draft a constitution. Their socio-economic backgrounds were as varied as their ages. Yet, they all believed that what they were doing was critical to the future of California. From this six-weeks meeting, a constitution was drafted that declared California a free state and established its boundary, work Congress should have done. The Gold Rush and Civil War have obscured what happened in Monterey. The Delegates of 1849 brings to light for the first time the life stories of those forty-eight men who could be considered as California's "founding fathers."

Can a sea be a settler? What if it is a sea that exists only in the form of incongruous, head-scratching contradictions: a wetland in a desert, a wildlife refuge that poisons birds, a body of water in which fish suffocate? Traci Brynne Voyles’s history of the Salton Sea examines how settler colonialism restructures physical environments in ways that further Indigenous dispossession, racial capitalism, and degradation of the natural world. In other words, The Settler Sea asks how settler colonialism entraps nature to do settlers’ work for them.
The Salton Sea, Southern California’s largest inland body of water, occupies the space between the lush agricultural farmland of the Imperial Valley and the austere desert called “America’s Sahara.” The sea sits near the boundary between the United States and Mexico and lies at the often-contested intersections of the sovereign lands of the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuillas and the state of California. Created in 1905, when overflow from the Colorado River combined with a poorly constructed irrigation system to cause the whole river to flow into the desert, this human-maintained body of water is considered a looming environmental disaster.
The Salton Sea’s very precariousness—existing always in the interstices of human and natural influences, between desert and wetland, between the skyward pull of the sun and the constant inflow of polluted water—is both a symptom and symbol of the larger precariousness of settler relationships to the environment, in the West and beyond. Voyles provides an innovative exploration of the Salton Sea, looking to the ways the sea, its origins, and its role in human life have been vital to the people who call this region home.
