# csf: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called csf.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

> California; People; Women; Film; Csf; Education; Race; Students; Bates; Children; Community; Book; Work; Society; Time; Life; Self; War; Music; Identity; Health; Americans; Gender; Solidarity; Justice; Class; Empire; Land; Inmate; Mural; Depression; Hersh; Calderon; Anime

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

- Tijuana’s Art Scene, Artist’s Migration by Salas, Jimena (2023) - According to Cadena, the social fragmentation that Tijuana presents is associated to the fact that it is a city of migrants whose demographic composition is heterogeneous (2010:68).

- Physical Attractiveness and Career Success by Acevedo, Lisett (2023) - However, if the career importance of physical attractiveness is measured relatively by pitting it against other career determinants, self-perceived Physical Attractiveness fails to have a statistically significance relationship with the Career Importance of Physical Attractiveness(relative). Occupational stereotypes about the importance of image and physical attractiveness for career success in certain occupations may become the basis for image norms.

- The Mexican American Epic: Historical Dislocation, Hybridized Identity, and Perpetuated Inequality by Sanchez, Tatiana (2023) - In essence, Mexican American identity finds itself within a constant state of cyclical flux: increasing numbers of ‘foreigners’ renew dormant hostilities within the American population (regardless of race), social pressures inflame racial stereotypes which quickly target both native- and foreign-born ethnic groups, and finally Americanized ethnicities such as Mexican Americans must consequentially reorient themselves to combat the renewed threat to their social identity. The author provides a detailed history of Mexican Americans and their experiences with American society. Keywords: american; california; census; hispanic; identity; mexican; mexican americans; population; race; states; u.s
- American Attitudes toward Mexican Immigration by Leach de Amante, Krystal (2023) - But when the U.S. went to war again in 1942 (WWII), it conveniently relaxed its border laws, letting in Mexican workers by the droves in order to support the war effort. It is interesting to note here that regardless of the historical fact that Mexican workers helped sustain the U.S. economy during its time of need, many of the states who benefited most still feel no obligation toward these laborers. Keywords: american; california; immigration; mexico; states; u.s
- First Generation Students in Higher Education by Sanchez, Olivia (2023) - 5 CONCLUSION Despite the prevalence of academic probation among first-generation students, there are few studies that examine the additional academic challenges faced by first generation students who tend to transfer from two-year colleges into four-year universities.

- Introspection: An Expository Analysis of Police Brutality Against Unarmed Black Men by Glenn, Lami (2023) - Glenn 1 CALIFORNIA SOCIOLOGY FORUM VOL. 5 Introspection: An Expository Analysis of Police Brutality Against Unarmed Black Men Lami J. Glenn Department of Sociology California State University, Los Angeles INTRODUCTION With this sociological analysis endeavor, I am fervently interested in the social phenomenon of police brutality against unarmed Black men and the role that Critical Race Theory (CRT) factors into this conundrum. Prior research on this topic has contextualized the social construct of race and race relations here in the United States, examined marginalized communities and their lack of trust and collaboration with law enforcement (Braga, Brunson, and Drakulich 2019), the history of this nation and subsequent colonization & enslavement of Black people, cultural and familial influences including racism and anti-Blackness and the effects of such (Alexander 2010), as well as the ways in which popular media, including music, television, radio, or social media depictions and stereotypes have attributed to the negative portrayals of African American men in ways that impact people’s views on police brutality against unarmed Black men (Jeffries and Jeffries 2017).

- Kimberlé Crenshaw on Intersectionality and Critical Race Theory by Perez, Nicole (2025) - This is why Crenshaw works so hard and wants people to understand the hardships and disparities that Black people have to go through because they don't have a choice under racism.

- Music Review: Analysis of Kendrick Lamar’s 2016 Grammy Performance by White, Dorcia (2025) - The imagery of Lamar surrounded by jail cells and a chain gang is powerful because it points to systemic racism that perpetuates the disproportionate number of Black people stuck in the industrial prison system (Smith 2012).

Gang members represent not just the lower class, but, moreover, the permanent underclass of American society – what Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels called the lumpenproletariat, unable to identify the cause of their material deprivation and therefore unable to focus their rage against those whose unimaginable wealth is possible only at their expense.
