1571 - Contemporary Latina/o Racialization

Sat, August 11, 4:30 to 6:10pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 4, Franklin Hall 7

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

For a long time, sociological paradigms such as the assimilation model have presented Latina/os as an immigrant group that would eventually become integrated in ways that Irish and Italian groups have experienced. However, massive demographic changes in Latina/o populations throughout the country have led to anti-immigrant and anti-Latina/o sentiment and policies. The current U.S. president has called Mexicans rapists and continues to express his prejudice against Latina/os and many other American ethnic and racial groups. We invite papers that examine how others view and feel about Latina/os as well as how Latina/os themselves are navigating a time with explicit racist attacks.
