This article asks whether locality and the varied resources, networks and racialized histories of local actors make a difference in the experience of immigrants and their transnational practices. Such questions are typically explored in metropolitan centers and global cities, but the present work results from an ethnographic study of a previously all-white rural Illinois town, where the meat processing industry recruited a labor force translocally among Latin Americans and West Africans. The article reports on the experience of this rapidly diversifying town where both formal politics and the liberal-democratic channels of citizens' participation in governance remain exclusionary. Despite this, the diverse immigrant populations have achieved a certain inclusion in public institutions and public spaces. Paying attention to the dynamics developing across immigrant groups through everyday spaces of interaction within their residential community, I argue that the kinds of mediating spaces local context offers are critical to the ability of diverse immigrant groups to renegotiate the interracial social and spatial relations they encounter in a highly contested and constrained context where a global corporation is the sole local employer.RésuméCet article s'interroge sur le fait que la nature locale et la diversité des ressources, réseaux et histoires racialisées des acteurs locaux puissent différencier l'expérience des immigrants et leurs pratiques transnationales. Généralement, ces questions portent sur des centres métropolitains ou des villes mondiales, mais ce travail s'appuie sur l'étude ethnographique d'une ville rurale de l'Illinois dont la population était auparavant entièrement blanche et où le secteur de la transformation de viande a choisi un recrutement translocal de main-d'œuvre latino-américaine et ouest-africaine. L'expérience de cette ville qui a connu une rapide diversification montre que les politiques officielles, de même que les canaux libéral-démocrates de participation citoyenne à la gouvernance, entretiennent l'exclusion. Les diverses populations immigrantes sont néanmoins parvenues à une certaine inclusion dans les institutions et les espaces publics. En étudiant les dynamiques qui se créent entre les groupes d'immigrants grâce aux espaces d'interaction quotidiens de leur communauté d'habitation, on peut avancer que les types d'espaces de médiation qu'offre le contexte local sont indispensables pour que des groupes d'immigrants différents puissent renégocier les relations sociales et spatiales interraciales propres à un cadre disputé et contraint où le seul employeur local est une entreprise mondialisée
