This chapter examines eleven regions in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s that were all rich in resources—ideas, money, and skills—which might have led to the formation of life sciences clusters. Yet only three of the regions—the San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, and San Diego—developed into robust industrial districts for biotechnology. Most research on the emergence of high-tech cluster samples on successful cases and traces backward to find a developmental pattern. In contrast, rather than read in reverse from a positive outcome, the chapter builds networks forward from their early origins, revealing three crucial factors: organizational diversity, anchor tenant organizations that protect the norms of a community and provide relational glue across multiple affiliations, and a sequence of network formation that starts with local connections and subsequently expands to global linkages.Less

“Modern-day” California began with the founding of the San Diego Mission by Junípero Serra in 1769. The accounts of sacred services and the founding of this and other mission settlements—as described by Serra and his friend and biographer Francisco Palóu—provide the source material for this chapter's discussion of pageantry and sacred song in California. Special attention is devoted to the founding of Monterey in all its magnificent splendor and theatricality, as well as the relevant musical pieces such as the Veni Creator Spiritus, the Salve Regina, the Te Deum, the Alabado (a song of thanksgiving that was an obligatory part of the daily routine at the mission communities), and the Alba (a dawn song).Less

The Mandaeans are a Gnostic sect that arose in the Middle East around the same time as Christianity. Although it is one of the few religious traditions that can legitimately claim a 2000‐year literary history, there has been very little written about them in English. What little study of the religion there has been has focused on the ancient Mandaeans and their relationship to early Christianity. This book examines the lives and religion of contemporary Mandaeans, who live mainly in Iran and Iraq but also in diaspora communities throughout the world, including New York and San Diego (USA). The author seeks to cross the boundaries between the traditional history‐of‐religions study of the Mandaean religion (which ignores the existence of living Mandaeans) and the beliefs and practices of contemporary Mandaeans. She provides a comprehensive introduction to the religion, examining some of its central texts, mythological figures, and rituals, and looking at surviving Mandaean communities – showing how their ancient texts inform the living religion, and vice versa. The book is arranged in three parts: Beginnings; Rituals; and Native hermeneutics. A glossary and extensive endnotes are included.Less

What is it like to become an adult in twenty-first-century America? This book takes us to four very different places—New York City; San Diego; rural Iowa; and Saint Paul, Minnesota—to explore the dramatic shifts in coming-of-age experiences across the country. Drawing from in-depth interviews with people in their twenties and early thirties, it probes experiences and decisions surrounding education, work, marriage, parenthood, and housing. The first study to systematically explore this phenomenon from a qualitative perspective, the book offers a clear view of how traditional patterns and expectations are changing, of the range of forces that are shaping these changes, and of how young people themselves view their lives.Less

The Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) is a comprehensive, long-term habitat conservation plan that focuses on the acquisition of a 172,000-acre preservation network of biological core areas and wildlife corridors over a 30-year period, in San Diego. The city and county of San Diego have acquired thousands of acres of land from the fund, raised through federal and state assistance, to conserve the biodiversity in the region. Although the MSCP adopts a collaborative, landscape-scale planning process that is based on the predictions of the optimistic model of ecosystem-based management (EBM), it has certain aspects which are more consistent with the pessimistic model of EBM. There are some aspects of the MSCP that reflect on its shortcomings. The preservation lacks buffering, and offers fewer habitats than its total suggested acreage. The major problem with the MSCP is its being development friendly.Less

Chapter 6 explores how Herman Baca and San Diego Chicano/Mexicano created the Committee on Chicano Rights (CCR) in 1976. These activists fought the San Diego Sherriff’s Department issued order for taxi cab drivers, under penalty of citation and fines, to report any of their clientele who they “feel” might be undocumented to their offices for apprehension in 1972. The San Diego Police Department, under the administration of San Diego Mayor (and future California governor) Pete Wilson, followed suit in 1973 by assuming the responsibility of determining resident’s legal status and apprehending the undocumented to assist the U.S. Border Patrol. This culminated in the founding of the CCR through the struggle on behalf of the family of a Puerto Rican barrio youth, Luis “Tato” Rivera, killed by a National City police officer.Less

An account is given of the life of a contemporary Mandaean poet, Lamea Abbas Amara, who was originally from Iraq, and now lives in San Diego, California. It discusses her religious origins, her relationships (and those of other contemporary Mandaeans) in the community, the complex relationship between Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the Mandaeans, and her Mandaean beliefs and family history. The family history includes priests and goldsmiths (the Mandaeans are traditionally skilled goldsmiths and silversmiths). One of Lamea's poems is included at the end of the book.Less

This chapter tells the story of the new Mexican-origin second generation, drawing from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) surveys of Mexican-American youth in San Diego, U.S. Census data, and other related research. It examines the trajectory of socioeconomic adaptation and advancement for this rapidly growing segment of the population. The chapter focuses on California, because the Mexican-American CILS sample comes from San Diego and because immigration and settlement, and the children who result from it, have a greater impact in California than in the rest of the United States. It discusses race and perceived discrimination among Mexican Americans, and reviews the socioeconomic status and accomplishments of second-generation Mexican Americans, from the school and labor-force accomplishments of an earlier second generation through the school performance of second-generation youth in San Diego and California today.Less

Chapter 1 reveals the history of Mexican-American immigrant rights organizing in San Diego and larger Southern California at the intersection of ethnic and labor politics from 1924 to 1968. This chapter reveals that Chicano Movement struggles against the deportation regime are part of a longer duree of Mexican-American social movements across generational divides. The chapter begins by exploring the enactment of the Border Patrol and the invention of the “illegal alien” category in 1924 to detail how it came to primarily target the ethnic Mexican population. The chapter then follows the immigrant rights activism of ethnic-based labor movement organizations, primarily the Congress of Spanish-Speaking People, an encounter that convened antiracist labor activists, many members of the Communist Party, and trade unionists from affiliates of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and 40s.Less

Chapter 5 continues the story begun in chapter 4, when a split between Chicano Democrats and Chicano/Mexicano immigrant rights activists leads to the exodus of the latter from the statewide MAPA organization to the seemingly more radical politics of La Raza Unida Party, an ethnic third party effort. The chapter explores how this moment led to debates between various factions of the California La Raza Unida Party through which San Diego Chicano/Mexicano activists participated from roughly 1970-1975. Community activists in San Diego LRUP facilitated an approach in between a persistent narrow nationalism that, despite rhetoric otherwise, deemphasized the noncitizen migrant experience and struggled to embrace the diverse political positions within the ethnic Mexican community. San Diego Chicano/Mexicano LRUP organizers maintained engagement with the diverse ethnic Mexican community in their registration efforts, as they continued to learn about the limits of voting strategies in their mixed-legal status community.Less

Scholars, scientists, and policymakers have hailed ecosystem-based management (EBM) as a remedy for the perceived shortcomings of the centralized, top-down, expert-driven environmental regulatory framework established in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. EBM entails collaborative, landscape-scale planning, and flexible, adaptive implementation. But although scholars have analyzed aspects of EBM for more than a decade, there has been no systematic empirical study of the overall approach. This book provides a detailed assessment of whether EBM delivers in practice the environmental benefits it promises in theory. It does this by examining four nationally known EBM initiatives (the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Program in Austin, Texas; the San Diego Multiple Species Program; the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan; and the California Bay–Delta Program) and three comparison cases that used more conventional regulatory approaches (Arizona’s Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, and efforts to restore Florida’s Kissimmee River and California’s Mono Basin). The author concludes that projects that set goals based on stakeholder collaboration, rather than through conventional politics, are less likely to result in environmental improvement, largely because the pursuit of consensus drives planners to avoid controversy and minimize short-term costs. The author’s practical focus cuts through the ideological and theoretical arguments for and against EBM to identify strategies that hold promise for restoring the ecological resilience of our landscapes.Less

Over 23,000 Brown Ware sherds, most undecorated, were recovered during excavations at several mid-nineteenth-century archaeological sites in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. Diagnostic sherds (especially rim fragments) from the entire collection, as well as all specimens from a single well-defined context, were examined and provide the basis for interpretation of vessel production, form, and use. INNA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis) and petrographic thin section results are also reviewed. These studies demonstrate that precontact Native American ceramic fabrication and vessel form traditions predominated in the Mexican Republic and early America eras (i.e. 1830s–1850s), although there were some relatively subtle changes in temper and firing. A possible clay source is discussed, and historic records of Indian servants in the Mexican period pueblo of San Diego are explored.Less

Chapter 3 intervenes in the larger scholarship on CASA (The Center for Autonomous Social Action), a national Chicano Movement organization based in Los Angeles, by being the first analysis of its San Diego chapter called CASA Justicia. It reveals CASA Justicia as a significant political space that introduced younger Chicano Movement activists to elder organizers who had struggled against the deportation regime in earlier decades. CASA’s offering of legal and social services to immigrants suffering the perils of undocumented legal status unleashed a wave of migrant agency – that infused Chicano Movement ideological narratives with – and influenced the mostly Mexican-American administrators of CASA to a point where their own identities shifted. Migrants infused their narratives about the way border enforcement policies were an intensely repressive presence in their day-to-day lives determining their ability to be present in their familial relationships, to provide sustenance and economic well-being, and to freely move about.

The author begins The Servant Class City with an introduction to one of their friends, the entrepreneur Raymond, and the odd jobs he does to earn a living. To some observers, Raymond’s situation and outlook is frustrating; he is obviously a hard worker, so why doesn’t he just learn a trade or start his own business? The barriers to either, however, are multiple. It is not from the lack of trying; but rather, the structures of opportunity have shifted, making it difficult to attain any level of economic security or move up economically through greater income. The book specifically examines the unique economic structures of the city of San Diego, California.Less

This chapter begins by presenting a broader historical context of Filipino immigration to the United States; to California; and to the research site, San Diego. It then delineates the socioeconomic status of the Filipino CILS sample and the academic achievements and ambitions of young Filipinos. Next, the chapter analyzes what it means to grow up as children of Filipino immigrants in San Diego by focusing on shifts in ethnic identity and perceptions of discrimination, the quality of family relationships, and emotional well-being. It notes that race and gender mark most aspects of young Filipino lives and constitute crucial axes along which children of Filipino immigrants must be understood.Less

Alta California was divided into four jurisdictions: San Diego, Santa Barbara, Monterey, and San Francisco, each anchored with a presidio and five to six missions and civilian communities. We describe each of these jurisdictions, their resident native and emigrant populations, and their economy. The place of architectural ceramics and pottery and their associated technology is presented. Finally, a discussion of the role of Mexican craftsmen and colonial supply is presented.Less

The first chapter looks at the background of San Diego’s inner city revitalization, the targeting and subsidization of specific industries, and the politics involved in the process. Since the 1970s, growing inequality, declining economic mobility, and an erosion of standardized work and wages for most Americans has reshaped the postwar U.S. economy. The dominant shift throughout the 1980s and 1990s saw more neoliberal economic policies adopted at the federal level and below. These coincided or overlapped with urban devolution, reduced federal funding for urban renewal programs, a shift toward more conservative-favored efforts like enterprise zones, and the elimination of welfare as a system of income supports. All of these changes resulted in growing income inequality and greater economic and labor market polarization overall, and they left many inner-city residents isolated and with high rates of joblessness.Less

This chapter discusses the characteristics and chronological placement of the tin-enameled earthenwares (mayólica) that were used in Alta California between 1769 and 1850. It focuses on a sample drawn from San Diego Presidio, San Diego Mission, and San Luis Rey Mission. The chapter concludes with some speculation on the value of mayólica for our broader understanding of culture change.Less

This chapter covers the demographic and economic changes that swept over South Texas and northern Mexico during the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution. Growing landlessness and reliance on wage labor created massive demographic upheaval and disturbed previously isolated regions and populations in both countries. These changes came even more rapidly after the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution as millions found themselves displaced by war. North of the Rio Grande, these tensions led to years of chaotic change and omnipresent violence that completely altered the economic and social reality of South Texas.Less

This chapter chronicles the efforts of Father Diego Luis de San Vitores to Christianize the Chamorros. To him, Chamorros were free, untamed pagans—like innocent children—living in an unenlightened state of nature. San Vitores felt an overwhelming responsibility to save these forsaken souls despite—or perhaps because of—their neglect by the Spanish authorities. The establishment of a mission in the Islas de los Ladrones (most likely Guam or Rota) would not be easy, however. San Vitores had had to take pains to circumvent the massive bureaucracy of the Spanish colonial system and to succeed in the murky politics of the court. Eventually, however, San Vitores led a mission to the Chamorros, and his actions there would leave an impact on the area that continues to be felt to this day.Less
