Transforming a Holiday Landscape
Global by the Seaside
In a small coastal vacation community heavily dependent upon foreign workers, in-depth interviews with employers, participant observations, and an analysis of social artifacts evidence patterns of neo-assimilation, in the form of fused cuisine on menus, altered attitudes towards native-born workers among employers, and in a small number of cases, intermarriage. Findings also illustrate employer engagement with the culture of their workers and a s…
Racialized Geographies
From 2014-2016, the author of this article conducted 37 in-depth interviews with Black and Latina women who had graduated from a wealthy, predominantly White suburban high school in the Northeastern United States. The article explores the experiences of these students and the concept of being in the “wrong” place because of a perceived racial and geographic misalignment
“It’s Because You Don’t See Yourself as Unequal to Anybody”
Fear and voting
Citizenship acquisition is viewed as the key indicator of political incorporation into US society and one motivated by the desire to formally engage in the civic realm, but we know naturalization is undertaken for many reasons. What we know less about is what motivates particular groups. Through surveying 74 lower socio-economic immigrants of color initiating the naturalization process at free citizenship clinics in the Boston, Massachusetts area…
You’re in the basement of this grand house
This study explores habitus (re)formation and elite cultural capital acquisition among 37 lower to middle-income women of color who accessed a high-income, predominantly white suburban public high school through one of three ways: as residents, as commuters, or as boarders, with the latter groups gaining access through two voluntary racial desegregation programs. The in-depth interviews reveal that women in all three groups discuss exposure to an…
Citizenship
Citizenship is generally defined as political membership in a society. It determines everything from where an individual can live and travel to whether or not an individual can vote, hold certain jobs, access social programs, or rely on protections from a government. The concept of citizenship has expanded throughout the centuries, in terms of both what comprises citizenship status and who has access to it.
Immigration and Welfare
Immigrant use of welfare programs is of increasing concern in many postindustrial, immigrant‐receiving societies around the world. This is the result of a confluence of factors, including increasing numbers of immigrants, the growth of the welfare state in the post‐World War II period, aging native‐born populations, and significant budget deficits resulting from a variety of economic crises in the twenty‐first century. Additionally, the diversity…

What wakes the sleeping giant? The effect of state context on Latino voter turnout in the 2004 election
"Leads" to Expanded Social Networks, Increased Civic Engagement and Divisions Within a Community
Dogs play a distinct role in their impact on human relationships and processes because of the unique role they play in American society, existing in a liminal space of "almost" human. Both the level of emotional attachment and the requisite daily care make dogs important players in bringing humans in contact with one another and mediating human relationships. This study examines the role that dogs play in mediating relationships between and among…
The Limits of Political Citizenship
From immigrant to naturalized citizen
Political Incorporation among Immigrants from Ten Areas of Origin
Using four years of data from the Current Population Survey, this study examines the effect of country of origin on two types of political incorporation among immigrants – citizenship and voting – in the contemporary United States. Results show that country of origin is a statistically significant predictor of citizenship acquisition for nine of ten immigrant groups and for voter turnout for five of ten groups, net of income, education, length of…
