Latino Suburbia: Examining the Politics of Race and the New Immigration

安娜·阿帕里西奥（西北大学）将进行定性研究三个（多米尼加人，波多黎各人，萨尔瓦多人）拉丁美洲人口在纽约郊区之间的群体间关系的发展，以及他们如何代表和执行在公共空间的文化身份和政治观点。最近的人口普查数据显示，拉丁裔和移民人口构成了美国非城市地区人口的一个重要且不断增长的部分。通过使用人种志，访谈，绘图和档案的方法，这项研究将记录人口，政治和社会变革发生在当代拉丁裔郊区的纽约，特别注意泛拉丁裔身份的新兴形式。 对这些转变的考察将在当代美国的三个显著转变中得到理解和语境化：1)20世纪末和21世纪初贫困的郊区化，2）在非传统接收地区的拉丁美洲人和拉丁美洲移民的异质性（关于阶级，种族，公民身份和民族血统）的增加，以及3）在这些景观中对公民身份的法律的关注增加。 这项研究将解决一系列的目标：了解什么地方，政策和过程影响的方式，不同的群体相互关系;发展分析如何政治，经济和社会地形的一个地方影响的方式，其中不同的拉丁美洲群体组织的公共活动，信号的身份和关系;提供新移民目的地的数据和分析，以及这些人口如何改变郊区和公共空间。研究结果和成果将提供有关的信息，并有助于在种族/民族的形成，群体间的关系，移民政治，“拉丁”（新的身份运动），并在21世纪世纪城市郊区的转变理论。 这项研究还将为当地和全国关于拉丁美洲人和非传统接收地区移民政策的辩论提供及时的贡献。

Dr. Ana Aparicio (Northwestern University) will conduct qualitative research on the development of inter-group relations among three (Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans) Latino populations in suburban New York and on how they represent and perform cultural identities and political perspectives in public spaces. Recent census data reveal that Latino and immigrant populations comprise a significant and ever-growing segment of the population in non-urban locales in the United States. Through the use of ethnographic, interview, mapping, and archival methods, this study will document demographic, political, and social transformations occurring in a contemporary Latino suburb of New York with special attention to emergent forms of pan-Latino identity. Examination of these transformations will be understood and contextualized within three marked shifts in the contemporary U.S.: 1) the suburbanization of poverty in the the late 20th and early 21st centuries, 2) increasing levels of heterogeneity (with respect to class, race, citizenship status, and national origins) of Latinos and Latino immigrants in non-traditional receiving areas, and 3) increased legal attention to citizenship status in these landscapes. This study will address a series of objectives: understand what places, policies, and processes affect the manner in which different groups relate to one another; develop analysis of how the political, economic, and social topographies of a locale affect the manner in which diverse Latino groups organize public events that signal identity and relationship; provide data and analysis of new immigrant destinations and how these populations are transforming suburbs and public spaces. Research findings and outcomes will provide information about and contribute to theorizing on racial/ethnic formation, inter-group relations, immigrant politics, "Latinidad" (new identity movement), and urban-suburban transformations in the 21st century. The study will also offer a timely contribution to local and national debates about Latinos and immigrant policies in non-traditional receiving areas.
