“…is alien to that community" (Oquendo, 2010, p. 34). Some political and scholarly projects in the United States seek to elevate brownness as opposed to blackness (Rodriguez, 2003; for critical perspectives, see Alcoff, 2007;and Miller, 2004). More recently, work has focused on government data collection about race, the racialized legal system, and the ways racialized constituencies compete for resources and status vis-à-vis the government (Jackson Sow, 2021).…”

This paper describes Latinx stratification economics (LSE) as a scholarly approach to studying the economic status of Latinas/os/es/xs primarily in the United States. We coin the term LSE to refer to work that draws on and is in conversation with both the emergent, interdisciplinary subfield of stratification economics (SE) and the interdisciplinary field of Latinx studies (LS). SE and LS have distinct intellectual traditions and drawing on both leads to strong theoretical and empirical scholarship on Latinxs, on the operation of race across space and historical time, and on the intersection of race with other systems of domination. We discuss how, based on these perspectives, it is misguided to expect racial/ethnic categories like Hispanic to be consistent over time and space and to correspond reliably with phenotypical characteristics or culture. We argue that a good faith reading of the LS literature would result in the recommendation to subordinate models of migration to models of colonialism and imperialism. We discuss the significance of normative goals and social justice to complement “gap analysis” comparisons to non-Hispanic whites. Lastly, we discuss deficiencies of the dominant models of discrimination and, as an alternative, we highlight rational models of racism that involve strategic identifications with whiteness, blackness, and mestizaje, including by members who identify as Latinx or those with Hispanic ancestry.

“…Working with visual archives, and in particular photographs (Tavares, 2016), was largely motivated by a concern to articulate the complicatedness of identity formations and in some sense validate the shifting, messy, contingent, historical, and contemporary strains upon their making against dehistoricized, purist, and essentialist accounts (Butler, 1993; Collins, 1991; Gilroy, 1993, 2005). As I have noted elsewhere, there is a peculiar temporality to identity formations, whether pinned on to individuals by institutions (US racial categories not only change but are assumed to be mutually exclusive) or self-selected by the individual herself (self-identification tends to underestimate the fundamental disunity of the self and its constitution by and through processes which are only partially accessible) (Alcoff, 2002).…”

This essay explores recent trends in contemporary educational studies that have focused on developing closer partnerships between university-based scholars and school practitioners and community-based organizers. With a focus on the antidote, as seen in the 2016 American Educational Research Association’s conference theme to recalibrate university-based education scholars as professional educational researchers in the service of the public, the author exposes how the contemporary trend, although running counter to, cannot be extricated from the Marxian problematic concerning the subject of history.
