Nicholas De Genova

    Nicholas De Genova je uznávaný autor, ktorý sa vo svojej práci zaoberá zložitými vzťahmi medzi migráciou, rasou a priestorom. Jeho literárny prístup sa ponára do sociálnych a politických konštrukcií, ktoré ovplyvňujú životy migrantov, a skúma, ako sú hranice vnímané a „pracované“ v kontexte ilegality. De Genova’s písanie je oceňované pre svoju hĺbku a analytickú ostrosť, ktorá ponúka čitateľom prenikavý pohľad na otázky suverenity a slobody pohybu. Jeho dielo je zásadné pre pochopenie súčasných migračných procesov a ich dopadu na ľudské životy.

    Latino Crossings
    Working the Boundaries
    • An ethnographic study of transnational migration, racialization, labor subordination, and citizenship in Chicago's Mexican migrant community

      Working the Boundaries
    • Despite being lumped together by census data, there are deep divisions between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans living in the United States. Mexicans see Puerto Ricans as deceptive, disagreeable, nervous, rude, violent, and dangerous, while Puerto Ricans see Mexicans as submissive, gullible, naive, and folksy. The distinctly different styles of Spanish each group speaks reinforces racialized class differences. Despite these antagonistic divisions, these two groups do show some form of Latinidad, or a shared sense of Latin American identity. Latino Crossings examines how these constructions of Latino self and otherness interact with America's dominant white/black racial consciousness. Latino Crossings is a striking piece of scholarship that transcends the usually rigid boundary between Chicano/Mexican and Puerto Rican studies.
