The Many Meanings of Watts: Black Power, Wattstax, and the Carceral State.
By: Murch, Donna. OAH Magazine of History. Jan2012, Vol. 26 Issue 1, p37-40. 4p. Abstract: The article discusses the Watts Rebellion of 1965, with a particular focus on its implications for the black power movement and the rise of what the author calls the carceral state. According to the author, the 1972 Wattstax music festival in the Watts section of LosAngeles, California can be seen as local African American residents' response to the rebellion. Details related to the documentary film "Wattstax" are presented. It is suggested that the film may be useful in prompting classroom discussions on urban rebellions in the 20th and 21st centuries. Other topics include police brutality, the militarization of police forces, and civil rights worker Jesse Jackson.

The Los Angeles Times' Coverage of the 1992 Rebellion: Still Burning Matters of Race and Justice.
By: JoÃo H. Costa Vargas. Ethnicities. Jun2004, Vol. 4 Issue 2, p209-236. 28p. Abstract: Focusing on staff writers' articles and editorials published in the wake of the 1992 LosAngeles rebellion, this article examines the Los Angeles Times by paying attention to how race in general, and African Americans in particular, were depicted in its pages. What notions of society emerge from this newspaper's coverage of the 29 April 1992 civil unrest following the acquital of four police officers accused of brutalizing Rodney King? How do representations of racial differences reflect and consolidate such notions of society? By investigating the Times' narrative between 30 April 1992 and 4 May 1992, this article will also analyze related concepts of politics and justice that emerged in those days. This article argues that, while the Times erroneously cast blacks as the main perpetrators of the rebellion, it expressed widely held views on race and, ultimately, through its specific understandings of politics and justice, justified racial oppression.

Race, Rights and Rebellion in the Custodial State: A Post-Los Angeles Marxian Reconstruction.
By: Turner, Lou. Critical Sociology (Sage Publications, Ltd.). Mar2015, Vol. 41 Issue 2, p249-281. 33p. Abstract: America’s new race/class contradictions erupted in the 1992 LosAngeles rebellion, providing an impetus to think through the dialectic of political and human emancipation the young Marx articulated in Zur Judenfrage. For Stanford Lyman, the theoretical response to the assimilation of diasporic Jews into modernizing 19th-century Europe was appropriated by American sociologists responding to 20th-century America’s ‘ethnoracial mix’. At the text’s four discursive sites, history contextualizes theory and theory contextualizes history, beginning with a recollection of the authoritarian custodial state and Third World America that came screaming to life with the LA rebellion. At the second site, Black Studies, post-LA, found itself on the discursive frontline of this neoliberal turn. The third site is the intersection of religion, race and rights, where we reconstruct Marx’s theses on the Jewish Question, revealing the undisclosed biopolitics of a racial formation theory embedded in his writings of the 1850s and 1860s on the US Civil War and Capital. The fourth site of this post-LA reconstruction is a discussion of the state and the limits of black political empowerment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] DOI: 10.1177/0896920513504602.
