Los Angeles, one of the most ethnically diverse metropolitan areas not only in the U.S. but in the world, is home to people from about 150 countries speaking more than 200 languages. This seminar will be concerned with the history of the city itself but also and especially of the different ethnic groups that call Los Angeles home. It will be examined which advantages but also problems come along with living in a multi-ethnic society and which steps are taken to improve race relations. Furthermore, it will be analyzed how multi-ethnic L.A. is represented in fiction (e.g. in film, literature, and comics).
