Immigration and Ethnic Diversity in the South, 1980–2010
In the last decades of the twentieth century, the U.S. South became a major new immigrant destination. Largely bypassed by immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Southeast is now home to millions of people from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. A region historically defined by a black/white racial divide has become a multi-ethnic, multiracial society over the course of just two decades. This essay exami…

"Juan Crow" in the Nuevo South
In this paper, we apply Omi and Winant's theory of racial formation to understand how a new racial category of "Latino" is being created within Atlanta, a city firmly entrenched in a Black/White binary of race. Comparing Dominicans and Guatemalans in the Atlanta metro area, we show how two processes are "racializing" Latinos: 1) the homogenization of Latinos into a single "race" through state laws and policies and 2) the diversified understanding…
Subaltern Immigrants
The status of millions of undocumented workers from Mexico and Latin America in the United States poses a serious challenge to the country's founding myth as an immigrant nation. They form an integral part of the US labour force, but exist on the margins of the nation's political and social life. With a view to illuminating one aspect of subalternity and citizenship in the US, this essay examines significant shifts in twentieth century immigratio…

Guardians of Virtue
This article analyzes the origins and implementation of a policy and a formal institutional apparatus to discipline female delinquents in early 20th-century Los Angeles. The data derive from original case files of delinquent girls on whom petitions were filed in 1920. The authors seek to shed new light particularly on (a) the juvenile court's basic operations, (b) the social and institutional setting in which modern responses to female delinquenc…
