A People’s Guide to Los Angeles was borne of Laura Pulido’s research on 1960s and 1970s political movements in Los Angeles. The name for the project stems from Howard Zinn’s model of social history and the original output for the guide is a poster, available for purchase at the Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research. The central goals for the website are to engender a curiosity about the region’s political history, with a focus on oppositional moments, and to encourage its readers to see the “city as text.” A People’s Guide to Los Angeles is an attempt to map sites of race and class struggle in the region that have previously gone unacknowledged. The guide includes 23 sites to explore in Los Angeles, resources to go further, and audio tours of different neighborhoods.
