Long perceived as a city unencumbered by its past, Los Angeles offers powerful lessons on retrieving contested histories from the landscape. "Memory Makers: Tracing Race, Heritage, and Repair in Los Angeles, 1781-2012" examines the making and unmaking of settler histories, memory sites, and ancestral practices across the long sweep of L.A. history. It explores how different groups reckoned with the past through place, enacting a reparative landscape that resisted white settler efforts to erase Black, Indigenous, and immigrant communities from land and story. Drawing from oral histories, photographs, maps, personal archives, newspapers, and corporate and governmental records, this project expands our knowledge of relational formations of race in the American West, centers L.A. as a repository of civic memory, and contributes to the study of settler colonialism and immigration in the U.S.This dissertation recovers four moments that racialized and spatialized civic memory in L.A., beginning with the mythmaking of white settlers-turned-historians following the Civil War; the aftermath of the 1871 Anti-Chinese Massacre, when Chinese Americans revived ancestral rituals to soothe the victims' spirits; the making of postwar African American memory with the rise of Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Company; and the illegal excavation of Native remains in El Pueblo de Los Angeles in 2010. Together, these stories detail how Angelenos connected to their ancestors and protected their place-attachments following rupture. I explain how preservationists maintained settler projects, reorient the study of heritage toward commemorative processes, and locate calls for preservation justice within histories of reparative place-making and place-keeping.
