Acknowledgments
This book has been years in the making, and I am so grateful to the
many people and institutions that helped me along the way. I
became an independent scholar in 2006, when I transitioned from
tenured professor to freelance historian. By 2009, I began
germinating the idea for this book. The individuals and funders who
supported my work as an independent scholar, recognizing the
particular challenges of that status, hold a special place in my heart,
and I am particularly thankful for their generosity and sustenance.
Three funders provided crucial support with year-long fellowships
during which I wrote three of the case studies of this book: the John
Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation, the National
Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of
Learned Societies. I am grateful to the Huntington Library for several
short-term fellowships, to the UCLA Center for the Study of Women
for a steady succession of Tillie Olsen Grants, and to Bill Deverell
and Wade Graham of the LA County Almanac project for allocating
funds to me to collect 2010 data on LA. Additional thanks to the
National Endowment for the Humanities for a grant to the USC
Libraries to help make my LA County data accessible to the public,
and I am grateful to Andy Rutkowski, Deborah Holmes-Wong, Bill
Dotson, and Tim Stanton for their work on this project.
The UCLA Center for the Study of Women and the Huntington-
USC Institute on California and the West granted me research
affiliations, which have been lifelines to me as a scholar. To Bill
Deverell, I owe a huge debt of gratitude. He has been a steadfast
friend who went above and beyond by ensuring I had uninterrupted
library access at USC. Thank you, Bill, for your unwavering support.
Numerous librarians, archivists, city employees, and individuals
helped me find sources, gave me access to off-limits rooms,
provided information, and otherwise facilitated my research, and I
am grateful to all of them, especially Dan McLaughlin, Mary Carter,
Young Phong, and Tiffany Dueñas of the Pasadena Public Library;
Anuja Navare of the Pasadena Museum of History; Bill Trimble of the
Pasadena City Planning Office; Lilia Novelo of the Pasadena City
Clerk’s Office; Anne Peterson and Keith Holeman of All Saints Church
Pasadena; Judith Carter of the San Marino Historical Society; Debbie
McEvilly, Raquel Larios, and Sonia Guerrero of the South Gate City
Clerk’s Office; Bill Grady, Public Information Officer of Lakewood;
Sarah Comfort of Iacaboni Library, Lakewood; and Laura Verlaque,
Julie Yamashita, Mary Lou Langedyke, and Mike Lawler of the
Lanterman Historical Museum, La Cañada.
Students played a pivotal role in this book. Many shared superb
insights in my courses on suburban history and a few wrote research
papers that enriched my own thinking. I thank students in my
classes at UCLA, Claremont Graduate School, and Pitzer College,
particularly Graham McNeill, Mercedes González-Ontañon, and Jada
Higgins. Over the years, a team of student research assistants
compiled the large US Census dataset on LA suburbia, which
provided crucial empirical context for this book: Angela Hawk, Ryan
Stoffers, Jennifer Vanore, Matthew Bunnett, Sera Gearhart, David
Yun, and Desmond Weisenberg. A special thanks to Avi Gandhi for
her immense help with the dataset during the late stages of this
project. Other students assisted with research and various tasks,
including Jean-Paul deGuzman, Allison Lauterbach, Jared Levine,
Samantha Oliveri, Crystal Yanez, and Veronica Hernandez. As some
have gone on to jobs with the federal government, nonprofits, and
universities, I feel fortunate to have worked with them over the
course of writing this book, and I am grateful for their invaluable
assistance.
I’ve had the opportunity to present or workshop parts of my
research on this book at various institutions, and I am indebted to
those who made that possible: Margaret Crawford at the University
of California, Berkeley; Michael Ebner and Ann Durkin Keating at the
Chicago History Museum’s Urban History Seminar; Jo Gill at the
University of Exeter; Dan Amsterdam and Doug Flamming at Georgia
Tech; Adam Arenson at Manhattan College; Ken Marcus, Donna
Schuele, and Amy Essington at the Historical Society of Southern
California; Jem Axelrod at the Occidental Institute for the Study of
Los Angeles; and Andrew Sandoval-Strausz at Penn State University.
A special thanks to the LA History & Metro Studies Group, where I
workshopped chapters. And to my fellow coordinators of that group
over the years—Kathy Feeley, Caitlin Parker, Andrea Thabet, David
Levitus, Gena Carpio, Alyssa Ribeiro, Monica Jovanovich, Ian
Baldwin, Lily Geismer, and Oscar Gutierrez—I am so grateful for your
friendship, feedback, and camaraderie.
A number of friends and scholars shared sources, ideas, maps,
photos, and/or read parts of the manuscript. I thank you for your
generosity and invaluable insights: Jake Anbinder, Steve Aron, Eric
Avila, Hal Barron, Brian Biery, Gena Carpio, Wendy Cheng, Peter
Chesney, Jenny Cool, Jean-Paul deGuzman, Peter Dreier, Phil
Ethington, Lily Geismer, Adam Goodman, Richard Harris, Andrew
Highsmith, Greg Hise, Matthew Kautz, Kathy Kobayashi, Nancy Kwak,
Matt Lassiter, Bill Leslie, David Levitus, Willow Lung-Amam, Jennifer
Mapes (cartographer extraordinaire), Nancy Dorf Monarch, Michelle
Nickerson, Mark Padoongpatt, James Rojas, Eva Saks, Kathy Seal,
Tom Sitton, Raphe Sonenshein, Michael Tierney, Don Waldie, Jon
Weiner, Michele Zack, and James Zarsadiaz. I am grateful to
members of the LA Social History Group for reading early work,
especially John Laslett, Steve Ross, Frank Stricker, Jennifer Luff,
Craig Loftin, and the late Jan Reiff. Members of our short-lived but
mighty writing group provided excellent feedback and warm
friendship, and I’m grateful to all of you: Elaine Lewinnek, Lisa Orr,
Hillary Jenks, and Denise Spooner.
The many individuals who shared their life stories with me
through oral histories played a crucial role in the making of this
book. Their personal reminiscences filled in the details of everyday
life and the emotional experiences of living in changing suburbia. I
am immensely grateful to each and every one of them.
My recent involvement with the Erasmus + grant team on
“Urbanism and Suburbanization in the EU Countries and Abroad:
Reflection in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts” has been
a truly enriching experience. It has enabled me to share my work
with an exceptional group of European scholars and has facilitated
the fruitful exchange of insights about the structures and
experiences of suburbia transnationally. Thanks to the Erasmus +
Programme for funding this initiative, and especially to Pavlína
Flajšarová, Jiri Flajsar, Florian Freitag, Vit Vozenilek, Jaroslav Burian,
Eric Langlois, Mauricette Fournier, and Franck Chignier Riboulon. And
Andy Wiese, thank you for repping the US with me and sharing this
adventure in a way that only two suburban history nerds can fully
appreciate.
Several friends and fellow scholars went above and beyond during
my years engaged in this project, and to them I owe a special debt
of gratitude. Denise Spooner, dear friend and companion on this
journey, thank you for your love and support. Susan Phillips, I thank
you for your extraordinary kindness, love, and social justice
leadership. Carol McKibben, your friendship and unflagging
encouragement helped me through. I especially thank Erin Alden,
Jonathan Pacheco Bell, Barbara Gunnare, Max Felker-Kantor, Jorge
Leal, Elline Lipkin, Caitlin Parker, Andrew Sandoval-Strausz, Jen
Vanore, and Jake Wegmann for your boundless encouragement and,
in many cases, direct help with this book. Tim Gilfoyle and Jim
Grossman, I am grateful for your enduring support and friendship.
John Archer and Margaret Crawford, you both became my guardian
angels when I bolted from academia and became an independent
scholar, writing letters of support for funding and otherwise offering
moral support over the years. I am truly grateful to you both. I am
indebted to Ken Jackson, Betsy Blackmar, and Eric Foner for their
intellectual inspiration that began in graduate school and has
continued unabated. And a special thanks to Dolores Hayden, whose
scholarship set the groundwork for this book.
I also am grateful to two scholars who have passed, Mike Davis
and my dear friend Clark Davis, who both deeply influenced my
thinking about Los Angeles. One of the last classes Clark taught was
an oral history seminar that resulted in the book Advocates for
Change, which gave voice to the individuals living through school
desegregation. I drew often from that book, which renewed my
appreciation for Clark and the legacy he left behind in his life and
work.
Andy Wiese, you have been a treasured friend and intellectual
partner since our days at Columbia. I am thankful for your support
and friendship, and your willingness to drop everything and talk
suburbs when I needed those conversations. Your insights always
elevated my understanding and have shaped this book in countless
ways. I’m so grateful to have such a kind and brilliant friend. Allison
Baker, friend and fellow historian, enormous thanks for sharing your
research and personal archive on Lakewood, which you lent me at
the start of the COVID shutdown. Your dissertation deeply shaped
my understanding of that community, and your tremendous
generosity enabled me to finish this book. While I thank my friends
and colleagues who have helped me along the way, all errors are my
responsibility alone.
To Susan Ferber of Oxford University Press, I owe enormous
thanks for everything, starting with the interest you expressed in this
project years ago, and continuing with your tireless work in guiding
this manuscript to completion. I’m truly grateful for your editorial
eye, personal encouragement, and sheer stamina. I am so lucky to
have worked with you. I am also grateful to the scholars who
reviewed the manuscript for Oxford—Josh Sides, Jerry González, and
an anonymous reader—for their excellent feedback and belief in this
project.
My family has been my bedrock, sustaining me in every way. For
your love and support, thank you Tina Nicolaides, Jean Ramos, Anya
Nicolaides, Vicki Lohser, Liz Tekus, George Papas, Sophia Khan, Brad
Thornton, Tom Huang, Yvonne and Scott Carlson, and Ron
Weisenberg. To my extraordinary brothers, Alex and Louie, your love
and rock-solid support have kept alive the spirit of family that we
grew up with, and I’m so glad that we still live within eight miles of
each other. Thank you for always being there for me. My kids
Desmond and Marina have lived with this book for the last dozen
years. As they got older, they got more directly involved—Marina
taking photos, Desmond compiling data tables and offering input on
passages I was struggling with. More than that, they patiently put
up with a mom consumed with this book. I’m so grateful to you
both, you are my heart and soul. David, you have the patience and
heart of a saint. Your love, humor, sustenance, feedback, ideas, and
fortitude truly carried me through. And when I needed it most, you
sang “Three Little Birds,” which somehow completely worked. I am
eternally grateful to you.

The New Suburbia
Introduction
At the heart of this book are stories of the people and their suburban
communities undergoing these transitions. In the new suburbia,
Asian Americans, Black Americans, and Latinos moved into white
suburbs that once barred them. They bought homes, enrolled their
children in schools, and began navigating suburban life. They
included people like Tao Chia Chi, Sandra Martinez, and Derrick
Williams, whose life pathways all brought them to the suburbs of LA.
Tao Chia Chi was born in 1949, in Shanghai, China, the year Mao’s
communist regime seized control of the country. Her father, a
municipal employee in Shanghai, saw the writing on the wall—get
the family out quickly or face certain persecution. Two months after
Chia Chi’s birth, her father paid off the right people, disguised
himself as a farmer, and gathered his family—his wife, three young
daughters, and a sister—to make their way to a rural village where
they awaited a rowboat in the dark of night. When the fisherman
arrived and saw Chia Chi, he asked, “Is this a new infant? If she
cries, just choke her, otherwise we will all die.” Because many people
from the mainland were trying to get out by boat, the waters were
heavily patroled by communist soldiers. The girls managed to remain
quiet, and the family made its way safely to a nearby island. From
there, they hopped a cargo ship to Taiwan. The Taos started new
lives and raised their children in Taiwan. At age 22, Chia Chi arrived
as a student in the United States, where she eventually married a
doctor and raised her own family.
Sandra Martinez was born in 1957, into a poor family in San Pedro
Tlaquepaque, a town in Guadalajara, Mexico. Her father was a
lawyer but didn’t live with the family. Sandra had 11 siblings. Her
mother raised them as a single parent, without financial help,
making her living cleaning, cooking, and caring for other people’s
children. Without a home of their own, they lived with families
willing to put them up, but they were cast out when the burden of
housing 13 people became too much. When Sandra and each of her
siblings reached the age of 10, they left school to work, cleaning
homes or clerking in a shop. Their earnings went into the family pot,
which eventually helped them move into their own rental house.
When Sandra got older, she worked at a factory in Mexico making
Brittania Jeans, a popular brand in the United States. In her early
20s, Sandra came to Los Angeles to join her sisters and marry her
long-time boyfriend from Guadalajara.
Derrick Williams was born in 1965 and lived his early years in
southwest Philadelphia. In 1972, his family purchased a home in
West Oak Lane, an affluent community of Jewish and Italian
families. They were one of the first Black families to move in. Derrick
enjoyed a carefree childhood in a tight-knit neighborhood, with the
freedom to roam and explore his surroundings. Within a 10-year
span, however, rapid white flight flipped West Oak Lane from white
to Black, and Derrick began experiencing intensive racial conflict at
school, in the neighborhood, and in everyday life. As a teen, he was
bussed to an all-white high school across town, where attacks on
Black students by neighborhood youth became a daily routine. After
graduating, Derrick served in the elite Army Rangers, then moved to
Los Angeles after the death of his mother. He met his future wife
Pamela while working in IT at Boeing.4
Chia Chi, Sandra, and Derrick all eventually ended up living in the
suburbs of Los Angeles—San Marino, South Gate, and Lakewood,
respectively. They brought with them rich and disparate life
experiences, turning places once stereotyped as bland, predictable,
and white into something quite different. They represent the faces of
the new suburbia. This book tells their stories and the history of
suburban places remade by individuals like them.
With every passing year, more and more Americans live in the
suburbs. As of 2020, fully 54.6% of all Americans lived in suburban
places, yet another milestone along suburbia’s steady ascendance
since World War II.5
As a paradigm of the suburban metropolis, Los Angeles
represents an incredibly rich setting for probing suburbia’s recent
past. LA pioneered many facets of suburban development in the
twentieth century. Its wide array of historic suburban landscapes
allows for analysis across a range of built environments. LA stands at
the forefront of suburban diversification nationally. From 1970 to
2010, the proportion of all suburbanites in LA who were Black
American, Latino, and Asian American rose from 26% to 70%, much
higher than national averages. Similarly, in 2010, 60% of LA’s
immigrants lived in the suburbs, compared to 51% nationally.6 LA
has been experiencing the reverberations of these changes for
decades.
Los Angeles has a reputation as a diverse metropolis, but, in the
immediate post-World War II years, whites overwhelmingly
predominated LA County, especially in the suburbs. In LA, then, the
contrast from 1950 to 2010 was dramatic. LA’s suburbs flipped from
being nearly all white to nearly all multiracial. By 2010, the suburbs
had more nonwhite homeowners than white ones, and they housed
more immigrants and poor people than urbanized areas. Suburbia
looked less like an antiseptic haven of segregation and more like a
space of multiracial America.
Suburban households also grew more diverse in other ways. In
line with national trends, family structure in LA’s suburbs evolved
from young, straight nuclear families to more complex households
after 1970, including more singles, divorced adults, LGBTQ
individuals, cohabitating partners, extended families, and senior
citizens. More suburban mothers worked outside the home,
shattering earlier images of June Cleaver trapped at home mopping
floors. By the end of the twentieth century, the older norm of
breadwinner dad, stay-at-home mom, and kids had become
entwined with class polarization. That suburban ideal found its fullest
realization in the wealthiest suburbs. Despite these trends, the fact
remained that married, homeowning families remained dominant in
the suburbs; they often held a majority voice, and their vision
continued to carry weight even as social realities shifted around
them.
At the same time that suburbia’s ethnic, racial, and household
profiles were changing, middle-class suburbs were shrinking. As the
middle class itself was squeezed by economic restructuring, a new
hourglass economy emerged with rising numbers of high- and low-
paying jobs and declining salaried jobs in between. These trends
began showing up across suburban space as super-rich suburbs
multiplied, as did suburbs of the poor. The gulfs dividing these
communities—places like uber-wealthy Bradbury and, just two miles
away, working-class Azusa—revealed an emerging suburban
disequilibrium. Suburbia came to embody inequality itself. The notion
of suburbia as a space of privilege was complicated by these
patterns, which were appearing in LA and across the United States.7
Within a generation, the suburbs came to hold a much broader
cross-section of people—rich, poor, Black, Latino, Asian, immigrant,
the unhoused, the lavishly housed, and everyone in between.
Through it all, the common denominators of suburbia remained—
low-slung landscapes of single-family homes and yards, pervasive
homeownership, and families seeking the good life. This familiar,
recognizable landscape has encompassed a growing array of
peoples, social processes, and lived experiences. An American dream
endured even as the dreamers changed.
At the heart of this book are social histories that explore how social
and civic life evolved in suburbs undergoing significant demographic
transitions. How did community traditions evolve? What were
people’s everyday experiences like? How did diversity affect
involvement in clubs, volunteer work, schools, and other local
institutions?
These questions speak to broad assumptions that many observers
have made about how suburban life has changed from 1950 to the
2000s. According to conventional wisdom, in the 1950s and 1960s,
social life was marked by intensive community engagement, even
excessive by the standards of some. Yet, by the 1980s, just one
generation removed, suburbia had become a place of fear, social
disconnection, privatism, and community decline.19 What’s
fascinating about this pendulum swing is that suburban design was
often implicated in these radically different social outcomes. The
same built environment that was initially thought to foster
community connectedness in the early years was blamed for deep
social alienation by the 1980s.20 Some observers blamed the decline
on suburbia’s social homogeneity and long commuting times, which
sapped free time and dampened civic energy.21 Still others blamed
ethnoracial diversity for the disengagement.22 Whatever the reasons,
this led to the era of “bowling alone,” as political scientist Robert
Putnam memorably described this increasing social disconnection.
The New Suburbia questions the simple declension narrative,
asking if it truly describes what was happening on the ground.
Looking at specific suburbs suggests a mixed picture depending on
factors like the class composition of a suburb or a suburb’s position
in the regional economy.23 Some evidence suggests that community
engagement persisted over the long haul, pivoting especially around
suburban children and the schools. In suburbs rich to poor, children
and the schools were crucial conduits of social integration,
particularly for new immigrant suburbanites, belying the narrative of
social breakdown in the post-1980 era.24 While The New Suburbia
does not presume to be the last word on the question, it does offer
insights that point to arenas of persistent engagement, like the
schools, as well as the disparate impacts of structural forces, like
political economy, on the prospects for social and civic health in
suburban places. It’s unlikely that a design fix can solve the problem.
Rather, suburbs that took proactive steps to integrate diverse
newcomers seemed to offer the best chances for successful
communities.25
Even so, the pace of development was weighted heavily toward the
postwar era in terms of population and housing, a period of
immense growth in the region. In LA County, the population more
than doubled between 1950 and 2000, rising from 4.15 million to
9.51 million, sparking a sharp rise in population density.6 New people
and new housing were overtaking and redefining the county. In the
San Fernando Valley, a 212-square-mile suburban expanse, the
population jumped from 112,000 in 1940 to 1.8 million in 1970.7 In
truth, development was happening all over LA, including in older
towns whose vacant lots or outlying farmlands were converted into
suburban homes for eager buyers. Another sign of postwar vigor
was a spike in the number of municipal incorporations from 1950 to
1969—fully 32 towns incorporated, which outpaced other periods.
This wave of incorporations was partly spurred by the “Lakewood
Plan,” a newly conceived system that gave suburbs the ability to
secure their civic autonomy on the cheap by contracting with LA
County for services like police and fire. It made the prospect of civic
independence and local control a much more attractive, affordable
option.8
Housing trends were even more dramatic. By 1970, newer
postwar housing had come to outnumber older pre-1940 housing by
a whopping margin—75% to 25%. In 2000, the postwar “sitcom
suburb” era remained dominant in terms of when housing was built.9
By this time, pre-1940 housing represented a scant 13% of the total
housing supply, underscoring the importance of postwar housing and
validating the old axiom that LA is all about the future, with little
appreciation for a preserved past. Between 1940 and 2000, at least
half a million older housing units (pre-1939) were demolished to
make way for new ones.10
