“…Scholars have noted the racialization of Latinas/os in the South as an important area for research [10,19,22,36,40,59]; however, how the ongoing influx of Latina/o immigrants will affect the entrenched black/white racial binary in that region is still up for debate [3,11,42,43,47]. The influx of Latinas/os into the southeastern U.S. has forced scholars to reconceptualize how the racial identities of Latinas/os are constructed within this highly polarized region [10,17,19,22,36,40,59].…”

“…The influx of Latinas/os into the southeastern U.S. has forced scholars to reconceptualize how the racial identities of Latinas/os are constructed within this highly polarized region [10,17,19,22,36,40,59]. Scholarship in this area reveals the tendency to utilize the same rigid white racial frame applied to African Americans in order to racialize Latinas/os, particularly as their numbers continued to grow [37,38].…”

“…The first maintains a White/non-White binary, racializing Latinas/os as non-White [10,39,66]. The second model also uses a binary, but the central distinction is between Blacks and non-Blacks [39].…”

“…Since the 2000 Census, research on intergroup relations between Latina/o and African Americans has exploded, particularly research focused on the Southeast [1,3,6,[8][9][10][11]14,18,[20][21][22]40,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. Research on coalition building centers around identifying key factors that affect a coalition's success or failure.…”

“…As the demographics of the U.S. shift, and we wait to see how the U.S. racial social structure will incorporate an increasing number of Latinas/os [10,[36][37][38][39][40][41], it will become increasingly important to understand the consequences of racial/ethnic identity in cross-racial coalition spaces. As Oboler and Dzidzienyo [24,41] write, we cannot expect that African Americans and Latina/o will come together as "an automatic occurrence", but rather only "as a result of sustained efforts, (and this) promises rewards for both African Americans and Latinas/os".…”

How Can I Trust You if You Don’t Know Who You Are? The Consequences of a Fluid Identity on Cross-Racial Organizing between African American Women and Latinas in Atlanta

Scholarship in the area of cross-racial organizing between Latina/o and African Americans has increased substantially over the past ten years. Within that literature, scholars have identified many reasons why cross-racial coalitions both succeed and fail. Among the factors most often cited is the issue of trust. Despite the recognition of the crucial role trust plays in cross-racial organizing, little attention has been paid to what contributes to actually building trust between African Americans and Latina/o. I argue that one factor contributing to the distrust of Latinas among African American women involved in cross-racial organizing in Atlanta is the perceived discrepancy between Latinas' own asserted identity and the identity assigned to them by African American women organizers. Using data gathered from six years of participant observation and forty interviews conducted with African American women and Latinas organizing in Georgia, I discuss the consequences of identity construction for cross-racial organizing. I find that within cross-racial organizing spaces in Atlanta, perceived racial identities are used by African American women as proxies for determining Latina organizers' commitment to social justice and, correspondingly, how much individual Latinas can be trusted. Specifically, I find that African American respondents view Latina identity as optional and potentially white. Latina respondents, on the other hand, assert strong identities and contend that their perceived "optional" identities are a function of what Anzaldúa calls a mestiza consciousness or the straddeling of multiple identities. I argue that understanding how these identities are assigned and asserted by Latinas and African American women is a crucial and often-overlooked component to building trust, and by extension, to building sustainable cross-racial coalitions.

Prior research on the “Great American Migration Slowdown,” or the declining rate of U.S. internal migration in recent decades, is dominated by two research foci. The first is concerned with the determinants of the migration slowdown. The second is concerned with spatial heterogeneity in the migration slowdown in and across places. With respect to the aim of this paper, many studies of spatial heterogeneity in the migration slowdown have implicitly raised questions about whether and to what extent places are connected to one another by migration flows, or the spatial interconnectivity of migration. The spatial interconnectivity of migration is a concrete manifestation of underlying spatial interdependence among places and, as such, deserves to be explicitly unpacked to further our understanding of the migration slowdown. Using county‐to‐county migration flow data from the Internal Revenue Service and a novel application of Das Gupta's demographic standardisation and decomposition procedures, we document changes in the spatial interconnectivity of migration during the migration slowdown between 1990 and 2010. We show that counties became more connected to one another by migration over time and that the increasing spatial interconnectivity of migration helped to keep the migration slowdown from slowing further. We also document changes in the spatial interconnectivity of migration for four types of migration flows: metro‐to‐metro, nonmetro‐to‐metro, metro‐to‐nonmetro, and nonmetro‐to‐nonmetro. Our work further elucidates the characteristics of the migration slowdown by describing changes in the spatial interconnectivity of migration. It also raises new questions for future research about the determinants and consequences of these changes.
