4366 - Contemporary Forms of Latina/o Racialization

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

Latinos/as are viewed as a cultural threat in many arenas of social life. Latinos/as have come under increased attack recently with anti-immigrant measures and anti-Latino/a sentiments and policies. We invite papers that examine the differential forms of contemporary Latino/a racialization within growing movements toward nationalism and overt white supremacy. We encourage papers that examine different forms of racialization across different contexts, how national trends mirror or contrast with Latinos/as’ experiences at the local and regional levels, and how Latinos/as have come together to resist racialization.
