| Abstract | One of the greatest challenges facing traditional historic preservation in the United States today is the task of integrating a more inclusive definition of cultural heritage in underrepresented communities into the broader movement. As this thesis will demonstrate, the tangible and intangible heritage of Unincorporated East Los Angeles and the burgeoning grassroots movement to safeguard it provide the field with powerful insights into the needs of twenty-first century ethnic communities. ❧ Characterized by a dynamic Chicano population and a long history of social activism, East Los Angeles currently lacks a formal preservation framework, leaving decisions about significance and interpretation in the hands of the community. Community-based heritage conservation and its evolving practices raise a number of questions about cultural memory, authenticity, and social authority, critically reshaping the relationship between place and identity. These changes are particularly visible in East Los Angeles, where heritage conservation belongs to a broader social and political movement over local agency within Los Angeles County. ❧ How do the unique cultural resources found in East Los Angeles produce a new method of recognizing, understanding, and conserving local heritage, and how do residents and activists interpret the significance of those resources? How have scholars depicted the relationship between place and identity in East Los Angeles, and how does an emphasis on the built environment and its associated intangible heritage redefine that relationship? Finally, how does community-based heritage conservation definitively alter the scope of traditional preservation, and how can the field adapt to these changes? |
