520 |a "Los Angeles, often seen as the bulwark of progressive secular politics, is a place that values immigration, equity, diversity, and perhaps above all human rights. This worldview, Sean Dempsey says, originated with liberal Protestants and other engaged religious organizations in the postwar era, notably from the 1970s onward, even as the Religious Right rose. Progressive religious actors in Los Angeles promoted a global vision of human rights-based ethics that has changed both the city and the world. This "politics of dignity" draws on a number of theological and spiritual strands yet ultimately clarifies the commonalities that underlie a largely successful and humane urban ecosystem"-- 
520 |a "City of Dignity illuminates how liberal Protestants quietly, yet indelibly, shaped the progressive ethics of postwar Los Angeles. Contemporary Los Angeles is commonly seen as an American bulwark of progressive secular politics, a place that values immigration, equity, diversity, and human rights. But what accounts for the city's embrace of such staunchly liberal values, which are more hotly contested in other parts of the country? The answer, Sean Dempsey reveals, lies not with those frequent targets of credit and blame--Democrats in Hollywood--but instead with liberal Protestants and other steadfast religious organizations of the postwar era. As the Religious Right movement emerged in the 1970s, progressive religious activists quietly began promoting an ethical vision that made waves worldwide but saw the largest impact in its place of origin: metropolitan Los Angeles. At the center of this vision lay the concept of human dignity--entwining the integral importance of political and expressive freedom with the moral sanctity of the human condition-which suffused all of the political values that arose from it, whether tolerance, diversity, or equality of opportunity. The work of these religious organizations birthed such phenomena as the Sanctuary Movement-which provided safe haven for refugees fleeing conflict-torn Central America-and advocacy for the homeless, both of which became increasingly fraught issues amid the rising tides of neoliberalism and conservatism. City of Dignity explores how these interwoven spiritual and theological strands found common ground-and made common impacts-in the humanitarian ecosystem of one of America's largest and most dynamic metro areas"--
