Defended Neighborhoods, Urban Renewal, and “Hillbilly Removal” in Uptown, Chicago, 1955 – 1970
This article examines urban renewal in a neighborhood where most residents were white in a uniquely racialized case of urban Appalachian displacement to better understand the broader social processes of otherness and undesirability involved in urban renewal. In the period discussed in this article, the Uptown neighborhood experienced the largest influx of southern and Appalachian whites in Postwar Chicago and was the setting for a contentious str…
Los carteles son la ley”
Felipe Calderón’s war on drugs ( guerra contra el narcotráfico ) destabilized a long-standing informal arrangement between the Mexican state and criminal organizations resulting in competition for regional control of illicit drug markets. As a result, lethal encounters between rival drug trafficking organizations increased as did the demand for new recruits due to attrition and incarceration. Using 62 in-depth qualitative interviews with inmates …
Police violence, corrupt cops, and the repudiation of stigma among underclass residents in Mexico City
The relationship between police corruption and violence is well established in Latin America. Those with less power in poor communities often adapt their actions to serve their group interests in response to constraints placed on them by law enforcement. Using ethnographic and qualitative methods, we probe the effect of corrupt police behavior on the stigma of arrest and imprisonment by members of impoverished neighborhoods in Mexico City. Using …
Weed Central
Findings discussed in this article addressed a gap in the literature on cannabis markets in Mexico. This article primarily draws on interviews with ( N = 64) street drug dealers including 24 incarcerated ones, and ethnographic work in 3 impoverished neighborhoods in Mexico City. We find that cannabis sellers enter the profession through early biographical experiences that are reinforced throughout adolescence. Dealing in the context of this canna…
Urban Marginality, Neighborhood Dynamics, and the Illicit Drug Trade in Mexico City
Beyond money, power, and masculinity
Mexican drug trafficking organizations have experienced rapid attrition resulting in a continual need for personnel since 2006. However, the process by which these criminal organizations absorb new members remains obscure. In this article, we report on the social context of recruitment and motivational pathways into Mexican drug trafficking organizations through in-depth interviews with current and former cartel members ( N = 79). We find that re…
The vanishing independent
Organised Crime in Mexico has undergone considerable change since 2006 when violent competition between drug trafficking organisations (DTOs) intensified. This article explores changes in drug trafficking activities from the perspective of independent dealers in Mexico City. Based on in-depth interviews (N = 64) we conclude that freelance dealers are increasingly pressured to become affiliated with DTOs despite being reluctant to do so. Our data …
Southern Identity and Serendipitous Opportunity in Qualitative Research Among Appalachians in Chicago
In qualitative research, identity is often discussed in terms of being an outsider vis- à-vis the subjects and setting. While important, there are research situations that require instrumental demonstrations of identity rather than a cloaking of the outsider status. This article uses ethnographic work among urban Appalachians in Chicago as a backdrop to examine how identity is a conduit for enhancing serendipitous opportunities in research. While…

Recent violence among drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) in Mexico has resulted in an ongoing demand for new recruits. Juveniles engage in a wide range of activities from lookouts in drug trafficking operations to high-risk activities, such as kidnapping and homicide. Based on ongoing ethnographic work in Mexico and referrals from correctional officials, we conducted in-depth biographical interviews with convicted and active cartel members (N …
Front Business-Back Business
Research introduced here draws on over two years of ongoing qualitative work of low-level drug dealers in a Mexico City neighborhood. Through interviews and participant observation, we explore the social mechanisms that sustain and facilitate informal drug dealing. Our findings indicate that the sale of illicit products, especially drugs, is a needed supplement to household income that expands and contracts according to economic need. Drug sellin…
Bioethics and biosocial criminology
Blood in the Water
Historians are fond of explaining why events occurred at the temporal juncture in which they did. Blood in the Water, not to be confused with the 2016 film of the same name, is historian Heather Ann Thompson’s prize-winning book on the Attica Prison uprising and its aftermath. Thompson took on the unenviable and ambitious task of chronicling the most famous prison riot in the twentieth century. Unenviable because she had to get it right. Ambitiou…
We Shall Not Be Moved
The planner and architect are seldom envisioned as advocates for the urban poor. However, during the 1960s, New Left planners and architects began working with marginalized groups in cities to design alternatives to urban renewal projects. This was part of a national advocacy planning movement that was taking shape in urban areas like Chicago. Inspired by critics of the Rational-comprehensive model of planning, advocacy planners opposed the impos…
Hank Williams Lives in Uptown
Uptown, on Chicago’s north side, was home to thousands of Appalachian migrants in the 1960s. Known fondly as Hillbilly Heaven for the numerous honky-tonk bars, and concentration of southern whites, Uptown was eyed for urban renewal by an elite group of business owners and civic leaders who referred to it as the Hillbilly Ghetto. This group strongly supported a plan for a college that would raze many of the buildings occupied by Appalachian migran…
Of Voices Few and Far between
Oral history has been an indispensible tool in documenting the lives of those previously invisible from broad historical movements of people. "The Oral History Review" has been among the major vehicles for the inclusion of women's voices. The migration of white southerners is well documented in historical literature. However, most historical accounts of the postwar urban migration of millions of whites from the South have focused on the male expe…
Cleaning up after the Mess
The population of America's local, state, and federal prisons increased by nearly 340 percent between 1980 and 2005 (Paparozzi and Demichele 2008). Much of this increase reflects policy intended to get tough on criminals by locking them up longer and removing discretionary power of judges. Therefore, community corrections (i.e., probation and parole) have assumed increased attention recently as more prisoners are diverted and placed on probation …
