  • “Racism is stronger than both of our papers”: Formerly undocumented Latino immigrants’ emergent shared racial status with Black Americans

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio•ARTICLE•Social Problems•2026

    Extant research presumes Latino immigrant and Black American relations to be competitive and conflictual, with Latino immigrants’ undocumented status contributing to such dynamics. Drawing on interviews and observations with currently and formerly undocumented Latino immigrants across the Los Angeles and Atlanta areas, I find obtaining permanent residency positively shifts Latino immigrants’ attitudes towards, and perceptions of, Black Americans.…

  • Authentically, Yet Situationally ‘Latinx’ and ‘Latine’: How Gender-Expansive People of Latin American Descent Navigate Panethnic Labels

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio, David Muñoz et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•2026

    The present study draws from interviews with 54 U.S.-born gender-expansive people of Latin American descent to examine how they understand, identify with, and use ‘Latinx’ and ‘Latine’ relative to ‘Hispanic’ and ‘Latino/a’. We find many not only identified with ‘Latinx’ and ‘Latine’ among labels like ‘Hispanic’ and ‘Latino/a’, they also described ‘Latinx’ and ‘Latine’ to feel the most authentic. Participants also reported the political and policy…

  • Legal care work: Emotion and Care Work in Lawyering With Unaccompanied Minors

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio•ARTICLE•New Community•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 55

    We know legal representation can improve the likelihood of favorable legal outcomes for immigrants, what some scholars refer to as the ‘representation effect’. But can legal representation affect client's broader integration and resettlement outcomes along the timeline of their legal case? If so, how? Drawing from literature on emotion work, care work, and how attorneys interact with immigrant clients, I propose the concept of legal care work to …

  • How public benefits make citizens in Latino mixed-status families: Self-Efficacy, Institutional Engagement, and Concerted Citizenship Cultivation

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2025•References: 32

    Experiences with public benefits can shape recipients' feelings (belonging) and enactment of citizenship (e.g., political, civic, or economic behaviors). However, we know less about how undocumented and lawful permanent resident (LPR) immigrants fit within this paradigm. This study, based on in-depth interviews with forty working-poor undocumented and LPR Latina immigrant mothers, reveals striking ways in which mothers described the meanings they…

  • Disclosure and the Evolving Legal Consciousness of Sexual and Gender Minority Central American Unaccompanied Minors

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio•ARTICLE•Law & Social Inquiry•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 42

    Sexual and gender minority (SGM) migrants’ disclosure of their identity or “coming out” has significant stakes. It can facilitate access to resources (institutional disclosure), cultivate intimacy and belonging (social disclosure), or support claims for legal protections (legal disclosure). This article analyzes SGM unaccompanied minors’ disclosures as shaped by the evolution of their legal consciousness in pursuing legal relief and incorporation…

  • Work after lawful status: Formerly Undocumented Immigrants' Gendered Relational Legal Consciousness and Workplace Claims-Making

    Open Access•Luis Edward Tenorio•ARTICLE•Law & Society Review•2024•Cited by: 7

    Undocumented status impedes immigrants' workplace claims to legal rights and better treatment. But what happens when they obtain lawful permanent residency - does the reluctance to make claims in the workplace change? If so, how? Drawing on timeline interviews, I examine changes in the relational legal consciousness and reported workplace claims-making of 98 formerly undocumented Latino immigrants. Most respondents reported increased willingness …
