Chinatown, San Francisco: the first segregated neighborhood in America -- Los Angeles: America's "white spot" -- The New Deal's third track: Asian American citizenship and public housing in depression-era Los Angeles -- "Housing seems to be the problem": Asian Americans and New Deal housing programs in San Francisco -- The subdivision and the war: from Jefferson park to internment -- "Glorified and mounted on a pedestal": San Francisco Chinatown at war -- Becoming equally unequal: the fight for property and housing rights in postwar California -- "The orientals whose friendship is so important": Asian Americans and the values of property in Cold War California. Between the early 1900s and the late 1950s, the attitudes of white Californians toward their Asian American neighbors evolved from outright hostility to relative acceptance. Charlotte Brooks examines this transformation through the lens of California's urban housing markets, arguing that the perceived foreignness of Asian Americans, which initially stranded them in segregated areas, eventually facilitated their integration into neighborhoods that rejected other minorities.
