Once nearly eighty percent Black, South LA is now two-thirds Latino. The demographic change was due to many factors, including a Black exodus driven by economic precarity, fear of crime, and experiences of over-policing and a Latino influx initially spurred by an immigration surge that could not be accommodated in traditional entry neighborhoods. While earlier research often focused on the conflicts between groups, time has passed and our new work points to contemporary quotidian accommodations between residents. We also document an emerging style of Black-Brown community organizing that seeks to both acknowledge the nuance of difference and create a shared sense of place identity. This article lifts up the Black experience in that transition of space and politics and notes how a sense of loss can result from such a dramatic change in a place that was once an iconic and literal home for much of Black Los Angeles. We suggest that that sense of loss is exacerbated by a legacy of racist asset-stripping and a deep worry about Black erasure due to current displacement pressures from gentrification. We close by discussing how organizers and political leaders need to take these dynamics into account when both building coalitions and ensuring Black futures in what is now a Black-Brown political and social space.

这是怎么回事?:南部洛杉矶的黑人拉丁化经历和损失

曾经是黑人的将近80%,南洛杉矶现在是拉丁裔的三分之二。人口变化是由于许多因素造成的,包括经济不稳定,对犯罪的恐惧以及对过度警务的体验所导致的黑人外流,以及最初由于传统入境社区无法容纳的移民潮而激起的拉丁裔移民。尽管较早的研究通常集中在群体之间的冲突上,但时间已经过去,我们的新工作指出了居民之间当代的quotidian住宿。我们还记录了一种新兴的黑褐色社区组织风格,其目的是承认差异的细微差别创造一种共同的地方认同感。这篇文章提振了黑人在空间和政治转型中的经验,并指出了这个曾经是黑人洛杉矶大部分地区标志性和字面意义上的家的地方发生如此巨大的变化如何会产生一种失落感。我们建议,种族主义资产剥离的遗留下来的遗产会加剧损失的感觉,而由于当前高档化带来的流离失所压力,人们对黑人的消亡深感担忧。最后,我们讨论组织者和政治领导人在建立联盟并确保现在的黑布朗政治和社会空间中的黑期货时,如何考虑这些动态。
