Advancing Research on Undocumented College Students in California through a UC and CSU Collaboration
Bienvenidos,Welcome to Volume 20, Number 3 of the Journal of Latinos and Education. Throughout this volume, we continue to celebrate the journal’s 20-Year Anniversary.With your support, the JLE has
Toward a Nuanced and Contextualized Understanding of Undocumented College Students
Prior research has established that undocumented immigrant experiences are dynamic, reflecting the complex web of immigration-related policies that create legal vulnerability. As such, undocumented college students’ experiences must be situated in their current policy context. Drawing on descriptive analyses of a survey of 1,277 undocumented 4-year college students in California, we examine how undocumented students are faring in a relatively inc…
The New Entrepreneurs
With a focus on a diverse group of Latino entrepreneurs in the Houston area, Valdez explores how class, gender, race, and ethnicity shape Latino entrepreneurs' capacity to succeed in business in the United States.
Master status or intersectional identity? Undocumented students’ sense of belonging on a college campus
Research on undocumented students in the United States often focuses on the challenges they face navigating postsecondary education, rooted in their precarious legal status. The observed influence of legal status on undocumented students’ sense of belonging and academic progress provides compelling evidence that being undocumented functions as a master status – a salient identity that conditions students’ educational incorporation. Yet, this rese…
Conceptualizing Ethnicity
Multidimensional measures of ethnicity that distinguish between characteristics associated with ethnicity (attributional) or race (relational) offer a nuanced explanation of health disparities by revealing aspects of ethnicity that shape health outcomes differently, contributing to the goals of health equity
Direct and Vicarious Racial Discrimination at Three Life Stages and Preterm Labor
The great recession and precarious wealth among middle-class Mexican-Origin entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurial activity is perceived to function as a catalyst for economic mobility and wealth creation among immigrant minorities, which in turn facilitates the reproduction of their wealth and businesses from one generation to the next. Yet, the United States Great Recession of 2008 had a devastating impact on the accumulated wealth of Latino entrepreneurs, widening a racial wealth gap that shows little signs of narrowing. This qualitative st…
Precarious Entrepreneurship
With the advent of globalization, neoliberalism, and immigration policy reforms that enlarged the non-White workforce in the United States, precarious employment—work that is contingent, risky, and socially stratified—has increased dramatically. The 2008 Great Recession exacerbated labor market uncertainty, deepening the demand for precarious labor. These same structural forces have conditioned a rise in precarious entrepreneurship in the informa…
Introduction to the Special Issue
A "partial renaissance" of self-employment in labor markets of the global North has attracted policy concern within national, supranational, and global arenas, yet sociological thought has been somewhat slower to respond to this phenomenon. In response, this special issue focuses on everyday self-employment among workers drawn from countries across the world. The collection of articles in this volume originated, in part, from a recent symposium t…
Nested Contexts of Reception
This article draws from five focus groups with 35 undocumented students who enrolled in the University of California-Central (UC Central), a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located in a Latino-majority, working-class community in the heart of the Central Valley, after the passage of the California Dream Act. We develop a framework of nested contexts of reception to argue that students encounter distinct contexts at the local, state, and federa…
Human Capital versus Social Capital A Comparative Analysis of Immigrant Wages and Labor Market Incorporation in Japan and the United States
For the United States, the most commonly used model of immigrant labor-market incorporationanalyzes earnings largely as a function of human-capital variables. However,this simple model is not necessarily applicable cross-culturally and may lose much of itsexplanatory power in other societies, where immigrants encounter different labor-marketconditions. This article evaluates multivariate models of wage determination forsamples of foreign workers …
U.S. racial and ethnic relations in the twenty-first century
The study of U.S. racial and ethnic relations is often reduced to the study of racial or ethnic relations. This article reveals the limitations of a focus on ethnicity or race, in isolation, and instead urges a new framework that brings them together. We consider three cases that have been conceptualized by the ethnicity paradigm as assimilation projects and by the race paradigm as structural racism projects, respectively: (1) African-American en…
Towards an intersectionality of race and ethnicity
As we write this response to our piece, one group of sociologists is preparing to attend a Critical Race conference in Tennessee, while another is preparing to attend an Immigration conference in B
Introduction to the special issue
We briefly review the ethnic entrepreneurship paradigm, identifying the problems associated with an approach that emphasizes the salience of one social group, ethnicity, to the exclusion or downplaying of others, such as race, class, and gender. We introduce an intersectional approach to the study of (ethnic) enterprise, reviewing the literature and using the articles in this special issue to demonstrate the utility of this perspective. We close …
Intersectionality, the household economy, and ethnic entrepreneurship
The literature on ethnic entrepreneurship emphasizes the role of ethnicity in facilitating group differences in enterprise based on access to ethnic-based resources. This treatment tends to conflate family-based resources with those of ethnicity. Using a framework derived from intersectionality theory, this qualitative study investigates how two aspects of the household economy, namely household composition and family ideology, shape intra-group …
The Abandoned Promise of Civil Rights
Fifty years after the civil rights movement, ethnic and racial disparities persist and have even widened across a number of socioeconomic indicators. When compared against whites, nonwhites today fare about the same or worse than their counterparts of the past in educational and occupational attainment, income and earnings, wealth, unemployment and underemployment. How can we understand the failure of racial and ethnic minority groups to attain s…

Political Participation Among Latinos in the United States
Objective. How do group identity and consciousness affect Latinos' political participation in the United States? Recent studies that examine this relationship generally focus on a single ethnic group, for example, Mexicans, or the panethnic group, Latino/Hispanic, which limits the scope of their results. This study investigates how group identity and consciousness affect the political participation of differently identified Latinos. Methods. Usin…
The Effect of Social Capital on White, Korean, Mexican and Black Business Owners' Earnings in the US
Previous research on ethnic entrepreneurship suggests that social capital facilitates enterprise. This study considers how social capital affects ethnic entrepreneurs’ economic success. Using the non-public Characteristics of Business Owners Survey, I examine the earnings-returns of four groups with disparate rates of business ownership in the United States: non-Hispanic Whites, Koreans, Mexicans and Blacks. Traditional sociological approaches ro…

Segmented Assimilation Among Mexicans in the Southwest
This article examines segmented assimilation among foreign-born and U.S.-born Mexicans. Using the 2000 census, this article investigates how immigrants' length of residence in the United States and nativity affect the earnings and self-employment outcomes of low- and high-skilled Mexican men and women in the Southwest. Findings reveal that the earnings of low-skilled, foreign-born Mexicans decrease as immigrants reside in the United States longer…
