Latino placemaking and planning
Latinos are physically and culturally reshaping cities in the U.S. They are revitalizing cities, suburbs, and rural towns in dramatic fashion. Jesus Lara’s book Latino Placemaking and Planning does
Planning the Barrio
I argue that ethnic identity formed the basis of collective actions against transit-oriented, development-induced gentrification in three Latino barrios in Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Diego. I demonstrate how these barrios relied on ethnic identity as a basis for mobilizing political capital, grassroots actions, and symbolic capital. Ethnic identity helped Latinos in these barrios create meaningful spaces of participation that transformed these…
Teaching Equity and Advocacy Planning in a Multicultural “Post-racial” World
This commentary brings together four scholars who have taught courses in diversity and inequity in planning to reflect on the challenges of speaking to and about issues of race, ethnicity, and cultural difference in contemporary equity and advocacy planning. Using evidence gathered from over forty-five years of collective teaching experience, we highlight students’ struggles with questions about racial inequality inside the classroom and working …

Placemaking in a translocal receiving community
Recent case studies of receiving communities have established that translocal immigrants are transforming their neighbourhoods, producing spaces of identity. While these studies have focused on the reshaping of local power dynamics, less attention has been given to the spaces, themselves, and the qualities that influence identity. This study utilises place identity literature, from environmental psychology, to explore the remaking of MacArthur Pa…
Latina/o identities, the racialization of work, and the global reserve army of labor
This article argues that the experiences and group formation of the Latino population in the United States can best be understood by employing a framework which examines global economic and political forces—forces which draw upon Latin America’s global reserve army of labor to meet and exceed U.S. national labor demands in order to increase capital accumulation. While cautioning against viewing Latinos as a homogenous “culture,” the authors’ fram…
Telling a Story that Must Be Heard
This article argues that community planners can better engage residents of marginalized communities by using indicators as tools for community empowerment. Using case studies from Oakland, California, and Lane County, Oregon, we demonstrate how participatory processes to develop formative indicators can legitimize local stories as valid sources of knowledge, facilitate community problem-solving, and translate community concerns into pathways for …
Comparing Conditions of Labor-Intensive Forestry and Fire Suppression Workers
Since the late 1970s, labor-intensive forest workers in the Pacific Northwest have been mostly Latino. These workers and their Anglo counterparts plant and thin trees, perform other forestry services, and fight wildland fires. Poor job quality has been persistent, especially for Latino workers. We compare working conditions between fire suppression and nonsuppression forest work across Latino and non-Latino populations in Oregon. We find that alt…
Shadow Transnationalism
Informal transnational networks support unauthorized communities, in what I call Shadow Transnationalism. I trace the intertwined fortunes of Postville, Iowa, and El Rosario, Guatemala. I identify shadow network flows through employment recruitment networks, lending networks, remittance transfers, and smuggling networks. I further investigate efforts of transnationalism from “below” scholars by building on the idea of a “shadow place.” I then ana…
Latino Urbanism revisited
Rapid and dramatic 1 1. The terms ‘new gateways’ and ‘new destinations’ are used in the sociological literature that examines the changing geography of immigration to refer to those urban, suburban and rural communities, states and regions in which immigrant populations have historically been fairly small, but where these populations have grown significantly since the 1990s (Singer 2004. Jensen 2006, Massey 2008). Latino/a population growth in re…
The exotic other
Latino immigration, often resulting from the restructuring of the meatpacking industry, is reshaping the cultural identity of rural small town America. We explore how local institutions in Perry, Iowa, deal with the emerging cultural diversity in their town. The key findings of the research support the proposition that Perry's adopted cultural pluralism in fact is a case of Eurocentric values reconstructed to accommodate an appreciation of cultur…
