Remitting amid autocracy
Homeland conditions shape how migrants and refugees perceive the purpose and impact of their remittances (i.e. financial support). Countries of origin with low violence and stable conditions allow migrants to remit with hopes of improving their non-migrant relatives' long-term material circumstances, while homelands with armed conflict limit remittance objectives to securing recipients' immediate safety and basic survival. However, scholarship ha…
Commemorating police over Latino death
Anchoring work
The contemporary US immigration enforcement system has disproportionately affected Latinx mixed-status families, those whose members have different legal statuses. Scholars have documented the collateral effects, often focusing on the consequences of deportation on families. Building upon this research and the framework of family work, I investigate how families react and mobilise resources during a removal process—a unique context where immigrat…
A distinct integration path? Latino economic elites in Los Angeles growing the Latino middle class
This research examines Latino economic elites in Los Angeles who engage in 'ethnoracial philanthropy' – giving to or creating ethnic-centric organisations that focus on alleviating socioeconomic inequalities. We draw on 65 in-depth interviews to provide insights into the ethnoracial educational structures created by Latino elites to facilitate the mobility of Latino youth. We compare three ways in which philanthropy manifests: via the creation of…
Excluding Criminals or Mothers? How Vicarious Experiences Shape Legal Attitudes on Immigration Enforcement
Literature provides insights as to how interior immigration enforcement can foment legal cynicism among those it targets. Yet scholars know little about individuals' evaluative judgments after a secondhand experience, such as when a relative is apprehended, detained, or deported by immigration enforcement. Drawing on data from 26 interviews with individuals who had a family member apprehended by immigration enforcement, I examine how people evalu…
Mexican Immigrant Women’s Reconstruction of Punishment and Victimhood in Intimate Partner Violence
Utilizing 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with Mexican immigrant women in Southern California, we argue that participants employ a bifocal lens to develop perceptions of intimate partner violence (IPV). By drawing on existing knowledge from Mexico as reference points, the findings show that participants construct law enforcement as the appropriate intervention in the United States. As a result, they construct new norms for victims on how …
