| Abstract | |
The Research seeks to analyze the perception and mobilization of political actors who lived in the city of Los Angeles - California, regarding public policies that directly affected their lives during the Republican government of Ronald Reagan in the United States (1981-1988). In order to understand how, at the local level, black communities would have perceived and reacted to the adverse situation of austere federal public policies, I use a wide range of sources, such as newspapers of hegemonic media, as well as produced by african americans, Magazines, Archives of social movements, governmental, as well as publications with statistical percentages. In order to analyze the activism of these actors, in a context where some of their achievements were attacked, as well as some of their leaderships were subtracted from the political arena in the face of state repression. Our aim is to understand what strategies black actors used to deal with the context of neoliberalism in the 1980s in Los Angeles, contesting greater access to housing, education, health, employment and the fight against police abuse. Understanding that this struggle was crossed by the relationship between social movements, institutionalized actors and civil society, we seek to understand the established networks, as well as the disputes of political practice.
