Dynamics of Latino segregation, poverty, and unemployment, 1980–2010
Residential segregation plays a key role in shaping both economic incorporation and marginalization of Latinos in the United States. This study examines segregation’s relationship with two key economic outcomes of incorporation—poverty and unemployment—for Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. The study utilizes a multiyear, multi-city dataset of individual and metropolitan-level characteristics in the years 1980–2010 for eighty-eight US metropoli…
A state’s right to make race through local policy: Hispanics, immigrants and the shifting colour line
This paper analyzes legislative debate over Alabama’s Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act (HB56). Taxpayers and citizens are colorblind legal categories, but the debate associated “Hispanics” with a history of racism in and beyond the state. I use three methods to analyze the debate. Content analysis identify explicit references to “Hispanics”. Second, I analyze legislators’ values, attitudes and beliefs. Finally, I use disc…
Marking walls and borders
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reconceptualize space as a field of struggles between multiple agents. Design/methodology/approach The author draws from field theory and uses visual methods to explain how graffiti shapes how neighborhoods are branded and aligned with creative city redevelopment plans. Findings By exploring space/place as field, the author moves beyond the structure/culture dichotomy to explain both place making and displa…
A tale of four cities: The boundaries of blackness for Ethiopian immigrants in Washington, DC, Tel Aviv, Rome, and Melbourne
Scholars increasingly view urban areas as fragmented spaces where migrants are policed in ways that promote differential access to mobility, but the glocal meanings of race are often undertheorized. This paper explores the mobility experiences of Ethiopian migrants in four cities: Washington, DC, Tel Aviv, Rome, and Melbourne. Using a textual analysis of newspaper coverage in each city, the analysis finds that media and police often act as agents…
Crossed out by LatinX: Gender neutrality and genderblind sexism
Emphasizing the 'Complex' in the 'Immigration Industrial Complex
This article contributes to scholarship that conceptualizes an 'immigration industrial complex', but argues against assertions that the complex represents a 'confluence of interests' or an unintended consequence of immigration policy enforcement. Instead, law regulates immigration and constructs 'illegality' in the interests of global (US) capital. This analysis has two implications. First, private government contractors are only one segment with…
Worms as a Hook for Colonising Puerto Rico
Studies of colonial medicine emphasise how medicine developed in the interests of colonisation. Insights from these studies have been more recently applied to US empire. Although this scholarship elucidates how medicine was central to colonisation, it focuses on the relationship between the colony and metropole and tends to overlook how the development of capitalism was part and parcel of the colonial process. This paper analyses the initial deve…
