Economic crisis, finance capital, and global commodity chains transformed Southern California just as Latinxs and immigrants were turning California into a majority-nonwhite state. InInland Shift, Juan D. De Lara uses the growth of Southern California's logistics economy, which controls the movement of goods, to examine how modern capitalism was shaped by and helped to transform the region's geographies of race and class. While logistics provided a roadmap for capital and the state to transform Southern California, it also created pockets of resistance among labor, community, and environmental groups who argued that commodity distribution exposed them to economic and environmental precarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eInland Shift\u003c\/i\u003e provides much-needed context for future research on the Inland Empire.\" * California History *\u003cbr\u003e\"De Lara weaves a sophisticated and multidimensional analysis of the successive waves of settlement and development projects that reshaped the landscape, demography, and cultural meanings of the Inland Empire. . . .this book is an enormous contribution to numerous fields, and De Lara writes beautifully.\" * American Journal of Sociology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations ix\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments xi\u003cbr\u003e Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SCENE 1: A SPACE FOR LOGISTICS 9\u003cbr\u003e 1 • Space, Power, and Method 11\u003cbr\u003e 2 • Global Goods and the Infrastructure of Desire 25\u003cbr\u003e 3 • The Spatial Politics of Southern California’s Logistics Regime 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SCENE 2: PRECARIOUS LABOR 61\u003cbr\u003e 4 • Th e Circuits of Capital 65\u003cbr\u003e 5 • Cyborg Labor in the Global Logistics Matrix 74\u003cbr\u003e 6 • Contesting Contingency 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SCENE 3: THE RETERRITORIALIZATION OF RACE AND CLASS 111\u003cbr\u003e 7 • Mapping the American Dream 113\u003cbr\u003e 8 • Land, Capital, and Race 127\u003cbr\u003e 9 • Latinx Frontiers 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion 162\u003cbr\u003e Notes 169\u003cbr\u003e References 193\u003cbr\u003e Index 213","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402900119895,"sku":"9780520297395","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780520297395.jpg?v=1730481808","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/inland-shift-9780520297395","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
