“We Haven’t Come Very Far: ” Puerto Ricans’ Perspectives on Racism
Individual beliefs about how racism operates simultaneously reflect and sustain racial inequality. Although research on Black-White racial attitudes in the United States is extensive, comparatively little sociological research examines how Latines discuss racism and racial inequality. This gap is notable given the increased racial and ethnic diversification of the U.S. population due in part to Latin American migration. Additionally, the racializ…
“Resiliency regardless of where you were born”: Racialization, coloniality, and Puerto Rican diasporic identity construction
Migration complicates racial and ethnic identity discourses, especially for populations from non-sovereign states. Using 58 in-depth interviews with stateside Puerto Ricans, I argue that Puerto Ricans engage in a racialization process that both challenges and sustains colonial legacies. Findings reveal that cultural nationalism, expressed as pride in Puerto Rico’s history and people, allows stateside Puerto Ricans to collectively resist their rac…
‘Everyone just gets that we’re mixed’: Racial identification among Puerto Ricans in New York City and Orlando
Previous research shows that racial identification patterns among stateside Puerto Ricans deviate from the Black-White binary that has historically characterized the U.S. colour line. Thus, scholars and policymakers continue to debate the most accurate approach for racially classifying the stateside Puerto Rican – and broader Latinx – population. I address this debate by examining the process of racial identification among Puerto Ricans living in…
Does Parental Migration During Childhood Affect Children's Lifetime Educational Attainment? Evidence From Mexico
Existing scholarship reveals important and competing influences of parental migration on children's educational trajectories. On the one hand, in the short term, left-behind children commonly take on additional housework and sometimes place less emphasis on education if they aspire to follow in their parents' migratory footsteps. On the other hand, parental migration often leads to monetary transfers (remittances), which reduces financial pressur…
Intergenerational mobility among return migrants and their families: A case study in Mexico
Research shows that migration plays in role in shaping intergenerational mobility pathways for migrants and their children. Absent from existing scholarship is an examination of intergenerational mobility pathways across multi-generational families with migrant and non-migrant members. Drawing from a mixed methods analysis of interview and survey data on 50 Mexican families comprised of return migrants and their non-migrant parents and children, …
