Organizations Serving Latino Communities Take Opposing Positions On Senate Bill 744, Gilbert G. Gonzalez
Diálogo
Discussion of the guest worker program in S.B. 744 passed by the U.S. Senate in 2013-14, followed by critical examination of principle positions taken by organizations and lobbyists, and key arguments used to justify their perspectives: legal protected status vs. corporations’ need for cheap, exploitable labor. Historical context provides crucial elements for discussion.
Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. And Latina Labor In Los Angeles, Hannah Noel
Branding Guilt: American Apparel Inc. And Latina Labor In Los Angeles, Hannah Noel
Diálogo
A study of the marketing strategies of the clothing enterprise, American Apparel, how it targets affluent, educated youth through socially conscious tactics, including a focus on pro-immigrant rights and Los Angeles-made, “sweatshop-free” advertising. The essay analyzes the ideologies and stances behind marketing materials that often contain images of Latinas/os as laborers, and white (European origin) population as consumers, and examines how U.S.-based ethical capitalism operates as a neoliberal form of social regulation to champion personal responsibility and individual freedom, in often hidden and inferentially racist and classist ways.
Cultural Citizenship And Coming Out On A College Campus: Undocumented Students’ Responses To Everyday Immigration Enforcement, Julia Wignall
Cultural Citizenship And Coming Out On A College Campus: Undocumented Students’ Responses To Everyday Immigration Enforcement, Julia Wignall
Diálogo
A study of the experiences of young undocumented immigrants as they transition into adulthood in Southern California, their obstacles encountered in the imposed condition of “undocumented,” even within the university experience, and innovative strategies adopted to deal with legal impediments. Using an ethnographic approach and interviews with college students, techniques such as “coming out of the shadows” and “everyday enforcement” are evaluated, as well as theories on practices of cultural citizenship, to demonstrate that undocumented students are claiming space and rights in their daily lives.

Queering Citizenship: Undocuqueer And Immigration Reform, Betsy Dahms
Diálogo
Analysis of the founding of the UndocuQueer movement and organizer, Julio Salgado, through Anzaldúan theory on nepantla, and in terms of cultural, sexual, and political citizenship, in the experience of those who came to the U.S. as children. This study assesses reasons for “coming out” as undocumented and queer through activism; argues that coalitional and relational activism challenges current anti-immigration policies and social factors; and advocates for a global and embodied citizenship.
Idealizing Maya Culture: The Politics Of Race, Indigeneity, And Immigration Among Maya Restaurant Owners In Southern California, M. Bianet Castellanos
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.

The article relates the author’s personal ongoing relationship as a high school teacher with a former undocumented student as a model and key to nurturing students’ identities and academic endeavors.
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.
