It is a fascinating study of how an innovative intercultural community developed along racial lines, and how immigrants from the United States engineered a profound shift in civic ideals and the physical environment, creating a social and spatial rupture that endures to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Samuel Torres-Rouff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300141238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300141238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"David Samuel Torres-Rouff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478326829311,"sku":"9780300141238","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0901d9e-c2d3-44d5-919f-b87cd918d46a.jpg?v=1715934935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/before-la-david-samuel-torres-rouff-9780300141238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
