Trumpism, Mexican America, and the Struggle for Latinx Citizenship
Between Demographic Optimism and Pessimism: Exploring “Neither Good nor Bad” Responses About Future Ethnoracial Diversification Among U.S. Whites
The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2060, Latinx, African Americans, Asians, and other “minority” groups will together comprise the majority of the country’s population. Past research has found that non-Hispanic Whites, hereafter Whites, find such projections disquieting or threatening. Yet, recent surveys reveal that when given more than binary good/bad choices, most Whites opt for the middle-point response that this development will be “nei…
Exploring Popular Sentiments of U.S. Ethnoracial Demographic Change: A Research Brief
Figures of the Future: Latino Civil Rights and the Politics of Demographic Change
Mostly Rich White Men, Nothing in Common: Latino Views on Political (Under) Representation in the Trump Era
The idea of U.S. democracy rests on the assumption that all citizens will see their issues and needs reflected in elected officials. Yet, historically this has not been the case, as racialized minorities have been excluded and systematically marginalized from the representative process. Today, nonwhite populations remain significantly underrepresented in federal and state governments. Although scholars have examined the effects and mechanics of e…

Latinos, Race, and the American Future: A Response to Richard Alba’s “The Likely Persistence of a White Majority”
Expert for a day: Theory and the tailored craft of ethnography1
Sociologists exhibit growing interest in the politics of expertise. Analyses of evaluations, economic paradigms, blueprints, censuses, policy instruments and the like have come to occupy an important position in recent research. While much of this emergent scholarship has drawn on historical methods, a growing number of scholars have turned to ethnography. A close reading of this work reveals that ethnographers have actively tailored rather than …
Cultivating Consent: Nonstate Leaders and the Orchestration of State Legibility
In recent decades, the sociology of the state has become engrossed in the relationship between knowledge and modern statecraft. Heeding recent calls for “society-centered” approaches, this article investigates the role of nonstate leaders in the production of state knowledge. It takes up the following question: How have nonstate leaders (i.e., civil leaders and community advocates) contributed to what James Scott has termed “state legibility”? Wh…
Bridgework: STS, Sociology, and the “Dark Matters” of Race
This short essay reflects on intellectual bridges that scholars have built, are building, and could build to connect critical sociologies of race and STS. Whereas much work in these respective fields have rarely intersected, greater exchange could help scholars better account for ways in which race shapes and stratifies contemporary societies. To this end, the essay begins with a recent example of bridgework—research on race and genetics. Next, I…
