Statistical discrimination of Guatemalan jadeitite sources using LA-ICP-MS trace element and petrological data
While tracing the geological provenance of Maya jadeitite-jade is key to understanding Mesoamerican exchange and extraction, distinguishing between the north (NMM) and south (SMM) Motagua sources presents significant challenges. This difficulty is due to shared mineralogical traits and the limitations of applying bulk whole rock trace element determination to invaluable archaeological objects. This study proposes an integrated statistical framewo…
La comunicación de la historia: Algunas reflexiones
En este ensayo se examinan distintos aspectos de la comunicación en Historia, considerada como parte de la producción del saber histórico y de la formación del receptor. Inicialmente se argumenta sobre la conveniencia del uso del término “comunicación”, en lugar de “divulgación”. Luego se señalan algunos problemas generales –el historiador comunicador, el público, el papel del editor– y se concluye con la referencia a dos historiadores muy difere…
Genetic Racialization: Ancestry Tests and the Reification of Race
While there has been a significant increase in the availability of DNA testing to identify one's ancestry, we know little about the implications of these services for everyday social meanings of race and ethnicity. Scholarship about ancestry testing generally focuses on the significance of DNA testing for individual consumers who lack access to genealogical history, often due to systemic racism and inequality. Drawing on an analysis of over 400 v…
Teaching Race After the Genome: An Approach to Challenging Biological Understandings of Race in the Classroom
As a billion-dollar industry with millions of consumers, DNA-based ancestry testing has become a highly sought out tool for people seeking knowledge of their ancestry and, recently, their family health history. As sociologists have emphasized, however, these DNA-based technologies have also risked reinvigorating dubious connections between biology and race. In this article, we outline a class assignment utilizing YouTube videos that feature consu…
“Racism Masked as Safety Concerns”: The Experiences of Residents of Color With Racialized Coveillance in a Predominantly White Neighborhood
Prior studies have focused on ways that White residents in predominantly White neighborhoods monitor their community for suspicious people and how these practices are racialized. However, only limited attention has been given to how residents of color in such neighborhoods experience these surveillance efforts. In this article, we explore how mostly White neighbors conduct on-the-ground monitoring of people of color in their daily lives, a proces…

Malleable detention: The restructuring of carceral space within U.S. immigration detention
The expansion of immigration detention in the United States has been attributed to policy, privatization, and anti-immigrant racialization. This research extends understandings of immigration detention's growth by focusing on how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) maintains the necessary space to detain migrants during this expansion. In this article, I introduce the concept of “malleable detention:” the flexible strategies and methods use…
Unsacred Children: The Portrayal of Unaccompanied Immigrant Minors as Racialized Threats
Since the early twentieth century, children have been regarded as a protected class, legally and symbolically, in the United States. Although legal protections for U.S. children have also extended to non-citizen children, this study investigates whether the symbolic aspect of children's protected status is undermined in the case of immigrant children. Through an examination of media reports during the 2014 entrance of unaccompanied minors from Ce…

Visiting Migrants, Contesting Detention: An Overview of Community Visitation Programs and Advocacy for Immigrants inside U.S. Immigration Detention
How do activists advocate for immigrants in U.S. immigration detention, given its closed and guarded structures? Providing advocacy for immigrants becomes difficult in detention as many people do not have the requisite skillset for legal advocacy, a prominent method in providing support to detained immigrants. In this article, I examine the Freedom for Immigrants’ Community Visitation Program (CVP) network, which organizes visits to detention sit…
R omero, J osé L uis
José Luis Romero studied the Western city in Europe and Latin America and developed an original historical‐cultural perspective on the urban world. A city is the creation of its society, which builds the habitat, where it organizes its social and political relationships, and unfolds its ways of life, mentalities, and ideologies. He initially studied the rise of cities and bourgeoisies in the European feudal world of the eleventh century, and foll…
Immigration Detention, Inc
This article addresses the influence of economic inequality on immigration detention. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detains roughly 350,000 migrants each year and maintains more than 30,000 beds each day. This massive detention system raises issues of economic power and powerlessness. This article connects, for the first time, the influence of economic inequality on system-wide immigration detention policy as well as on individual …
Islamophobia and the making of Latinos/as into terrorist threats
Research on Islamophobia has focused on how Muslims have been subjected to new and old forms of policing and surveillance. Very few studies have focused on the potential of Islamophobia to affect non-Muslim groups. This study addresses the role that Islamophobia has played in introducing changes to the management of US immigration and, in particular, how Latinos/as as a group have been affected and further racialized as a result. This article dra…
La Argentina en el espejo de los Centenarios
En su Oda a los ganados y a las mieses, escrita en 1910, Leopoldo Lugones celebró la prosperidad argentina y la asoció con el gran crecimiento agropecuario. Su visión optimista sobre el pasado y el futuro argentino fue compartida por otros intelectuales y literatos, como Rubén Darío, y por notorios visitantes extranjeros, invitados a los magníficos festejos del Centenario de la revolución de Mayo. Les habría sorprendido saber que, cien años despu…
A memória, o historiador e o cidadão. A memória do Proceso argentino e os problemas da democracia
O objetivo aqui é examinar a versão principal do passado recente argentino - a do Nunca más - e com isso mostrar que papel ela cumpriu na construção da nova democracia, republicana e liberal, sustentando-a e ao mesmo tempo condicionando-a. Quero, também, tratar a questão dos historiadores e sua complexa, para não dizer ambígua, relação com essa memória da ditadura e da democracia, e o papel por eles exercido na consagração ou contestação das memó…
