Others have discussed the history of anti-Japanese attitudes, activism, and legislation in California. This article analyzes Los Angeles voting returns for and against Proposition 1, the 1920 extension of California’s alien land law that prevented Japanese from owning or leasing land. The study looks at who opposed this anti-Japanese initiative and finds that voters’ motives reflected not only race but social class, occupational status, and political party affiliation. The findings are relevant to present-day conflicts over calls for excluding newcomers from mainstream rights and protections.
