Idealizing Maya Culture: The Politics Of Race, Indigeneity, And Immigration Among Maya Restaurant Owners In Southern California, M. Bianet Castellanos
Diálogo
Based on an ethnography of Maya restaurant owners in Los Angeles, the article examines how Maya migrants use Yucatecan cuisine to negotiate the politics of indigeneity. In Mexico, Maya peoples are denigrated as “Indian.” In the U.S., Maya migrants are racialized as “Mexican.” These racialization processes are intended to discipline indigenous subjects both within and outside of national boundaries. By drawing on popular indigenous cultural symbols and tastes that reinforce an idealized Maya culture, Maya restaurateurs construct an alternative politics of recognition that opens the door for new conversations about what it means to be indigenous and Latino.

Techniques Of Humiliation: Neoliberalism And The Noncitizen's Body, Munia Bhaumik
Diálogo
This article argues that the disciplining of noncitizens becomes a constitutive characteristic of neoliberalism. Examining two narratives about bodily deprivation in detention centers, the study pursues the psychic life of statelessness through tragic testimonies that not only point to subjection, induced through techniques of humiliation, but also to the neoliberal contradiction between “inclusion” and practices of regulation. Readings interrogate the problem of normativity in neoliberalism. In particular, the article argues against normative presuppositions about both race and gender, demonstrating how this leads to the denial of medication and death in detention facilities.

Queering Political Economy In Neoliberal Ironbound Newark: Subjectivity And Spacemaking Among Brazilian Queer Immigrant Men, Yamil Avivi
Diálogo
This paper complicates the dominant narrative of Newark’s Ironbound community as an exceptional and heteronormative neighborhood by analyzing the non-heteronormative subjectivities and spaces in them. During the period between 2004-2009, subjects were interviewed, in queer minoritarian spaces, to understand how Brazilian gays/ queers reified and contested neoliberal ideologies of nationalism, “good” ethnicity, individualism, and “appropriate” sexual mores. This ethnographic account employs textual and spatial-temporal analysis to generate an alternative narrative of gay/queer life and groupings in the Ironbound.

Diálogo
When Philip II assumed his reign in the mid 16th-century, the Spanish monarchy had fully consolidated its dominion over America, with Indigenous kingdoms subdued, and Spanish authority in place, however, lifestyle indigenous practices continued in outlying zones. Among Philip II’s more creative agents dispatched to the Americas was a medical botanist, his Protomédico de Indias, Francisco Hernández, whose practice of eclectic humanism— experimental medicine and theological neoplatonism—resulted in one of the more diverse intellectual works of the era. Directed through utopian thinking, his ethnographic witness and testing of “Indian” medicine and cuisine, referred to as recipes of the ancient Mexicas, …
