- About Me
Sara C. Fingal has dedicated her academic career to understanding how conflicts over democratic rights and land ownership reflected major shifts in American culture and society in the twentieth century. Her work to date ties together urban and rural history with an analysis of landscapes and ecosystems that transcend municipal, state, and national boundaries throughout North America. In addition to archival work in California, the Midwest, the East Coast, and Mexico, she has extensive experience preforming oral history interviews with former civil rights, Chicana/o, and environmental activists, state politicians, California Coastal Commission officials, and Los Angeles Port employees.
