The Journal of Urban History recently published my research article, “Segregating the Suburbs in Postwar California: A History of the Ladera Cooperative 1944-1950.” This pivotal account examines the innovative planning and fiscal features of Ladera, a cooperative community, followed by an explication of the 1940s lending landscape and state-sponsored financing process that ultimately reshaped Ladera’s development. The work was funded through the generosity of the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Importantly, the University of California Berkeley eScholarship platform enables the work to be freely distributed through Creative Commons Open Access [OA]. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00961442231199270
