Latin@ Immobilities and Altermobilities Within the U.S. Deportability Regime
In this article, we explore how racialized constructions of a “Latin@ threat” serve as ideological underpinning for the practices of the U.S. deportability regime and also fuel broader practices of policeability, with consequences for Latin@ mobilities and immobilities. Drawing from ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews with Latin@s in Perry, Iowa, we discuss “the border within” as an extension of border politics and borderlands rhetor…
“He Said They’d Deport Me”: Factors Influencing Domestic Violence Help-Seeking Practices Among Latina Immigrants
Significant developments have been made in research on domestic violence experienced by women as well as on the practical front of the services women seek and receive when living with partner abuse. Yet, most of the studies that explore the experiences of victims of partner abuse in the United States have focused on nonimmigrant White women. The current study aims to contribute to the literature by exploring Latina immigrant victims’ experiences …
The Social Production of Latin@ Visibilities and Invisibilities: Geographies of Power in Small Town America
This paper explores the sociospatial dynamics unfolding in Perry, a rural Iowa town that has been facing rapid change since the 1990s due to growing Latin@ settlement. We focus on what we call the social production of Latin@ visibilities and invisibilities: spatialized practices by individuals, families, communities, and institutions that render different Latin@ groups visible or invisible, with repercussions for survival, community integration, …
Latino Incorporation and Racialized Border Politics in the Heartland: Interior Enforcement and Policeability in an English-Only State
This article examines how the interplay among context of reception and interior enforcement and policeability policies and practices shapes Latino incorporation into Perry, a rural new destination community in Iowa. Analysis, based on ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of Latinos, foregrounds how the racialized dimensions of place affect incorporation, social interaction, and the ability of new populations to d…
Undocumented Latina Networks and Responses to Domestic Violence in a New Immigrant Gateway: Toward a Place-Specific Analysis
New immigrant gateways differ significantly from areas of established settlement, with repercussions for domestic violence situations. Through interviews and a focus group with undocumented Latinas, we examine one specific area of such difference, that of formal and informal networks. These networks affect women's ability to seek and obtain help and procure their overall well-being. Findings suggest that the incorporation of Latinas into new gate…
Latino Urbanism revisited: Placemaking in new gateways and the urban-rural interface
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…
Counterstories of college persistence by undocumented Mexicana students: Navigating race, class, gender, and legal status
This paper draws from four sets of four in‐depth interviews and one subsequent focus group to examine how undocumented Mexicana students navigate identities and the meanings of race, gender, class, and legal status. We mobilize a critical race theory framework to center and explore the content of students’ counterstories. While majoritarian stories perpetuate stereotypical narratives that portray communities of color as culturally deficient, coun…
It is their nature to do menial labour: The racialization of 'Latino/a workers' by agricultural employers
Latino/as1 1. Pan-ethnic labels such as Latino/a or Hispanic are problematic because they obscure vast differences in national origin, mode of incorporation, citizenship, race and class, for example. I use the label Latino/a, however, to highlight the shared dimensions of the experiences of these groups and their similar structural location (for illuminating discussions of the origins and political content of the labels Hispanic and Latino, see G…
Racial Triangulation of Latino/a Workers by Agricultural Employers
Tree-fruit production in the US Northwest relies heavily on seasonal workers who for many years have come primarily from Mexico and Central America. Racialization of that worker population on the part of employers and communities maintains a markedly stratified labor force. This paper examines racial triangulation, or the valuation and placement of racial groups in a field of racial positions relative to one another and along two axes: superior/i…
Space in the Tropics: From Convicts to Rockets in French Guiana
Rockets roar into space--bearing roughly half the world's commercial satellites--from the same South American coastal rainforest where convicts once did time on infamous Devil's Island. What makes Space in the Tropics enthralling is anthropologist Peter Redfield's ability to draw from these two disparate European projects in French Guiana a gleaming web of ideas about the intersections of nature and culture. In comparing the Franco-European Arian…
