Abstract:
This article compares two different methods for estimating the number of undocumented Mexican adults in Los Angeles Country (i.e., the Los Angeles Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area or PMSA). The first method, called the survey-based method, uses a combination of 1980 census data and the results of a survey conducted in Los Angeles County in 1980 and 1981. A sample was selected from babies born in Los Angeles County who had a mother or father of Mexican origin. The survey included questions about the legal status of the baby's parents and certain other relatives. The resulting estimates of undocumented Mexican immigrants are for males aged 18 to 44 years and females aged 18 to 39 years. The second method, called the residual method, is the method used by Warren and Passel (1987) and Passel and Woodrow (1984) to estimate the number of undocumented aliens counted in the 1980 census for the United States and each state, respectively. The method involves comparison of census figures for aliens counted with estimates of legally-resident aliens developed principally with data from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). For this study, estimates by age, sex, and period of entry were produced for persons born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles County.

Abstract:
The 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles marked the Golden Age of the Games. Detailed here are the city's 52 years of efforts to host them again in the face of internal rivalry, geopolitical confrontations, and fragmented international, national, and local power structures. The 1984 Games in Los Angeles rescued the Olympic Movement. Soaring costs had made most cities reluctant to step forward, but Los Angeles proved that a Spartan approach, adroit commercialization, and an existing infrastructure could result in a profit.

Abstract:
The Los Angeles Times' award-winning Olympics supplement was studied with a special focus on political assertions injected into sports coverage of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Most stories contained no political assertions, but among those that did, most of the assertions dealt with U.S.-Soviet relations. Most of the assertions suggested the Soviet-led boycott was politically successful in discrediting the Games and individual American sporting event victories.

Abstract:
In their 1984 bookProtest Is Not EnoughBrowning, Marshall, and Tabb suggest that biracial coalitions are powerful vehicles for achieving minority incorporation in the political life of cities. They argue that black electoral mobilization and subsequent incorporation depend on both the relative size of the black community and white support. Similarly, Hispanic incorporation is a function not only of the percentage of Hispanics in the population but also joint membership with blacks in a liberal coalition (pp. 245–246).Their optimistic view of biracial and multiracial coalitions contrasts strikingly with the more common pessimism about cross-racial politics. Racial polarization in such major cities as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia (as well as in a number of medium and smaller-sized cities) has fed the belief that the black protests and white backlash of the 1960s have doomed biracial politics.Protest Is Not Enoughfocuses on ten small and medium-sized Northern California cities. The largest, San Francisco, is the 16th most populous city in the U.S. But biracial coalition politics has been most advanced in Berkeley, a city of only 103,328 in 1980. Thus the book's argument is vulnerable to the challenge that full-blown biracial politics worked only in a rather small, unusual city and otherwise had a significant impact in cities of only moderate size in the traditionally liberal Bay Area.

Abstract:
The main theme of this work is analysis blending of sport and international relations. This relationship is discussed on the example of Olympic Games in Moscow and Los Angeles. These Olympic Games met with collective boycott of the Western or more preciesly the Eastern block. Boycotts of both of these Olympics Games were associated with the current political situation and with the culmination of the Cold War. The Soviet Union invaded to Afghanistan in 1980.Significant part of the Western world responded to this invasion by announcing a boycott of the olympic games in Moscow. The olympic games in Los Angeles were held four years later. Most of the countries of the Eastern block decided to boycott the games beacause of the fear for the safety of their sport expeditions. The theoretical part of this work describes the main events between sport and internetional relations in the 20th and the 21th century. The practical part is devoted only to olympic games in Moscow and Los Angeles, It is especially focused on the period before these Olympics Games. During these periods it has been decided about the boycott of the games at the high level policy. Final thesis, which is based on this diploma work, is the fact, that the sport is frequently used tool of the foreign policy and it is not very effective.

Abstract:
During the past decade (1984-1994), Australia experienced its worst recession since the depression of the 30's, followed by a no-growth period and an unemployment rate hovering around nine per cent. The awareness of Commonwealth and State Governments of the need for specific policies to stimulate new ventures and support small and medium enterprises (SME's), was increased by a range of reviews which resulted in a variety of initiatives. However, two key national initiatives, licensed Management and Investment Companies (MIC's) and the Second Board Stock Market, which aimed at making access to funds easier for new ventures, failed to provide sustained financial support to new innovative firms. Small businesses in Australia account for some 80 per cent of all businesses and 50 per cent of employment in the private sector. While many factors contribute to the successful establishment and growth of new businesses, a key factor is the availability of and access to affordable finance. The major objective of this study was to identify key success/failure factors in new venture creation and to review in detail the rise and fall of the Second Board Stock Market (1984-1992) - arguably one of the most significant Government initiatives during the 80's to provide access to equity funds. A survey of Melbourne companies listed on the Second Board was to provide valuable information on the success/failure of the Second Board Stock Market and to illuminate desirable Government initiatives meeting SME's survival needs.

Full text
Abstract:
<p> This interdisciplinary thesis begins with a 1981 birthday gift of art, music, photography, and words presented to the citizenry of Los Angeles for their bicentennial titled <i>The City of Our Lady Queen of the Angels</i>. The installation was created by Anthony Duquette and Angelino artisans and depicted a court of giant Archangels presided over by their queen, the patron angel of the city. The installation was accompanied by a poem written for Los Angeles by Ray Bradbury, set to music by Garth Hudson, and preserved through photography by James Chen. I reconstruct the fragments of Bradbury's poem and prepare them as spell for transportation as a Los Angeles specific ritual performance. I document and then use the installation and poem as the inspiration for my own reinterpretation of the 1981 work through music, words and choreography titled <i>A Dance in the Green Garden of the Queen of the Angels</i>. My oral interpretation of the poem defines its structure, and composer David Johnson creates a score for the work, which I perform and record with instrumental quartet. I choreograph, cast, and costume the resulting <i>Queen of the Angels Sonata</i> as a ritual dance, and the piece is performed at CSULA&rsquo;s International Day of Dance Concert, 2016. I then create a film production team to digitally record and edit the entire dance concert as a feature length film, and its seven individual dances as short film excerpts, that are distributed globally on YouTube.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of the development of the Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) during the first half the twentieth century. It charts the progress of the branch from its founding in 1914, to the departure of its fifth president in 1949. The pwpose of this thesis is to re-evaluate the role of the Los Angeles NAACP within two contexts: the history of twentieth century black Los Angeles and the history of the NAACP. In the former, the branch has long been considered a force of moderate conservatism within the black community, in the latter, the role of branches has been viewed as an issue of minor importance in charting the development of the organisation. By focussing on the branch, this thesis challenges these constructions. In the local context, it argues that the Los Angeles NAACP was less conservative and more pro-active than historians of black Los Angeles have given it credit for. Further, the history of the branch demonstrates a continuity of activism and protest in the city unmatched by any of its rivals. Within the context of the NAACP, the history of the branch helps construct a better understanding of how the organisation worked as a national network; it charts how the local branch responded to national policy, but also how the concerns and character of black Los Angeles framed the branch's activism and conception of itself within the national organisation. The thesis is divided into five chapters: the first examines the foundation of the branch; chapter two explores the impact of the ''New Negro" philosophy on branch activism in the 1920s; the third chapter details the branch's response to the Great Depression; chapter four charts the response of the branch to the challenges brought by the Second World War and chapter five explores the divisive conflict over leadership and communism that nearly destroyed the branch in 1948 and 1949

Full text
Abstract:
Ecological planning relies on a keen awareness of relationships between biophysical and social processes, then uses this knowledge for decision making in accommodating for human needs. The value of this planning process allows for design intervention while also ensuring a sustained use of the landscape, with these insights blending skill and artistry into place-making. In the 1960s, environmental concerns galvanized a generation of landscape architects who first codified ecological planning as a rationale for decisions with environmental stewardship. While this is the accepted canon, in the early 20th century during a period of experimentation and exploration, the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm was using ecological principles as foundations for landscape architecture practice. This thesis challenges current discourse and accepted history, presenting evidence that the Olmsted Brothers' work in the 1920s predated many modern ecological theories and applications, and is an important addition to the historiography of ecological planning. This thesis largely focuses on Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. as the central historical figure, offering a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of the firm, and fills the gap of the Olmsted legacy. As the children of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (1870-1957) along with his brother John Charles Olmsted (1852-1920) co-founded the Olmsted Brothers and created one of the most prolific landscape architecture practices, developing projects in all aspects of landscape design. The Olmsted Brothers' work in California accounts for over 200 projects, and ranks among the highest number of their 5000 designs developed in the United States. In the early 20th century, the city of Los Angeles offered significant ecological, cultural, and technological challenges for the firm, with the city's unbridled urbanization and proliferate use of water and automobility. Rich in solutions, the firm's built and proposed designs over the course of 20 years revealed the discipline of landscape architecture in its richest and most scalar form. From small scale gardens, residential communities, park and parkway systems, to open space and watershed planning, the Olmsted Brothers created public spaces that worked in relationship to the ecology of the region during a critical juncture in the history of regional planning in Southern California. A range of methods were utilized in this thesis. Primary data provided both qualitative and quantitative material for study and was extracted from letters, reports and writing, drawings, photos, plans and maps. Over 20,000 primary documents, written by the firm's principals, provided the basis for analysis, and in a new way, this thesis interprets not only the written documents, but related construction documents developed from 1914 - 1931. As part of its data collection, an original contribution of this study is a comprehensive corpus of Olmsted Brothers source material from their work in Los Angeles. Methodologies sought to modify these documents into a spatial understanding of their work through digital analysis and re-creation of designs. The Olmsted Brothers' design solutions provide insights into today's ongoing concerns about water management, sustainable urban planning, and multifunctional landscapes. Their design proposals solved multiple problems with the design, accounting for not only vast geography, but complex cultural and natural systems within it. The value of their ideas reflects landscape architecture solutions as hybrid, dynamic, and strategic, offering 21st century practitioners paradigms in an ever-changing ecology.

C'est au sein de la lutte de chavez et de son syndicat qu'apparaissent les signes avant-coureurs du muralisme chicano: la banniere de la vierge de guadalupe, l'aigle noir sur fond blanc et l'illustration graphique du journal el malcriado. Sur le plan socio-philosophique, le muralisme chicano a emerge du vide culturel: vide dans la formation des peintres ou exclusion des musees pour les artistes chicanos. Afin de pallier ces problemes, ils ont cree des centres culturels et alabore une conception de l'art non-occidentale. Dans les trois villes etudiees, le muralisme a ete tres different. A los angeles, le muralisme est ne des graffiti et a ete initie dans des cites tres pauvres par charles felix. Par la suite, de militant, le muralisme chicano est devenu environnemental. A san francisco, le muralisme chicano est ne du chomage et a pris un caractere multi-ethnique. A san diego, le muralisme est ne de la renovation urbaine et de la construction de "chicano park" pour lutter contre la construction du pont coronado. Nous avons trois mouvements muralistes chicanos. L'indigenisme est un thele recurrent dans les trois villes et est lie au plan espiritual de aztlan<br>Chicano mural painting in the united states was born within cesar chavez movement and the farmworkers movement. The banners of the virgin de guadalupe and the aztec eagle as well as graphic illustration in el malcriado are the signs that foretell the mural movement. On a socio-philosophical and esthetic levels, chicano murals emerged from a cultural nothingness both on the point of view of lack of education for some painters as well as the exclusion of chicano artists from the artistic scenne. That is why they created cultural centers and built up a non-occidental conception of art. In the three cities we studied, chicano murals were very different. In los angeles, chicano murals emerged from graffiti and was initiated in poor housing projects by charles felix. Afterwards, from militant chicano muralism became environmental. In san francisco, chicano muralism was born from unemployment and had a multi-ethnic charcter. In san diego, muralism was born from urban renewal and from the buildin of chicano park to. Struggle against the building of coronado bridge. So, in fact, we have three chicano mural movements. Indigenism is a recurrent theme in the three cities and is linked to the plan espiritua of aztlan
