Exploring the culture trap
In the U.S., West Indian immigrants are often viewed as a model minority, but in the U.K., they perform poorly compared to other racial and ethnic groups. These disparate outcomes are explained by historical and structural variables, including the order of migration, the timing of arrival, immigrant selectivity, continuing transnational contact, and the U.S. and U.K.’s different relationship with the Caribbean. Nevertheless, educators in both cou…
Nativism Redux
Lebensraum’s Tropical Turn
In 1981 the ATF, FBI, and U.S. Customs Service agents arrested a group of American and Canadian White nationalists as they were on their way to overthrow the government of Dominica. Although seemingly improbable, the event is important because it illustrates the hegemonic nature of the relationship between the United States and Caribbean countries and, also, the globalization of White nationalist violence. In this paper I show that extant theory …

Blinded by the whites
For many Americans, Barack Obama's election in 2008 as the first African-American president of the United States sealed the reality of the country's post-racialism. He was a new type of president f
W est I ndians
Although the exact meaning of “West Indies” is subject to debate, the term is commonly used to refer to the islands of the Caribbean archipelago and the territories in Central and South America that exhibit cultural, economic, historical, and political ties to these islands. Migration to the United States restricts West Indians more narrowly to individuals with anglophone Caribbean and Haitian origins since they dominate this movement. In contras…
The Problem of Post-Racialism
This book argues that Americans' belief in post-racialism, rooted in both ideology and material progress among racial minorities, is wrong because both old and new patterns of racism continue to hinde

Success Through Selectivity
White Identity and Racism
Recent Immigration and Race
Contemporary immigration is affecting U.S. society in many ways, particularly with respect to racial dynamics. Three aspects of these dynamics stand out: the conceptualization of race, the meaning of assimilation, and racial relations between groups. Although contemporary immigration, being largely non-White, is challenging U.S. society's entrenched conceptualization of race as revolving around a Black/White framework, this framework is not being…

Invisible Sojourners
Immigration and the Political Economy of Home
In Immigration and the Political Economy of Home, Rachel Buff undertakes an unusual comparison between West Indian immigrants in New York City and Native Americans in the upper Midwest. Although this juxtaposition is atypical, Buff argues that the two groups display interesting similarities. Immigration—or, as she neatly phrases it, “im/migration”—is the common thread linking the groups. In both, notable histories of migration, rooted in capitali…
