Prologue Prologue I am not your typical middle-class white male. I am middle class, despite the fact that my parents had no money; I am white, but I grew up in an inner-city housing project where most everyone was black or Hispanic. I enjoyed a range of privileges that were denied my neighbors but that most Amer- icans take for granted. In fact, my childhood was like a social science experiment: Find out what being middle class really means by raising a kid from a so-called good family in a so- called bad neighborhood. Define whiteness by putting a light- skinned kid in the midst of a community of color. If the excep- tion proves the rule, I’m that exception. Ask anyAfricanAmerican to list the adjectives that describe them and they will likely put black or African American at the top of the list. Ask someone of European descent the same ques- tion and white will be far down the list, if it’s there at all. Not so for me. I’ve studied whiteness the way I would a foreign lan- guage. I know its grammar, its parts of speech; I know the sub- tleties of its idioms, its vernacular words and phrases to which the native speaker has never given a second thought.There’s an Copyright © 2000.

In fact, race and class are nothing more than a set of stories we tell ourselves to get through the world, to organize our re- ality.And there was no one who told more stories to me than my mother, Ellen. One of her favorites was how I had wanted a baby sister so badly that I kidnapped a black child in the play- ground of the housing complex. She told this story each time my real sister, Alexandra, and I were standing, arms crossed, facing away from each other after some squabble or fistfight. The moral of the story for my mother was that I should love my sister, since I had wanted to have her so desperately.The message I took away,however,was one of race. I was fascinated that I could have been oblivious to something that years later feels so natural, so innate as race does . Copyright © 2000. University of California Press.

Soon my mother’s shopping cart was rattling across the floor of the refrigerated back row where all the meats were kept. I can envision the two long braids on either side of her head flapping maniacally,as if they were wings trying to lift her and the cart off the ground. She was, in fact, pregnant. She had explained to me what this meant a week earlier, and I had be- come fixated on it, asking each day how much longer it would be. My parents tolerated this first of my many obsessions, happy that at least I was not resentful and jealous, though they wondered why I so much wanted the baby to be a girl and not another something like myself.

The next morning I continued my questioning: “When I’m five, how old will the baby be?” Soon after that I started to worry about its sex:“When will we know it’s a sister and not a brother?” Skin color never entered my line of questioning. My parents did their best to engage my curiosity, each in their own way.While my father, Steve, used colored pens to handicap the Racing Form, he gave me some markers and told me to draw a picture of the baby.

On most websites, there is no regulating organ, except the Terms of Service that every registered user has to abide by. The standard version (used on websites like Facebook) includes a clause stipulating that the user should not: “use the Services […] to : upload, post, transmit, share, […] any User content [deemed] harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory, infringing, abusive, inflammatory, harassing, vulgar, obscene, […] hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable”.

Introduction As part of a broader inquiry into the cultural and historical formation of language ideologies (e.g., Bauman and Briggs, 2003; Kroskrity, 2000; Schieffelin et al., 1998), linguistic anthropologists have been increasingly concerned with the question of how ideologies and technologies of the voice emerged as defining tools of modernity.

  • “Gringo” How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination
    Growing Up “Gringo” How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination Alexis Silver A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Jacqueline M. Hagan Ted Mouw Barbara Entwisle Michael J. Shanahan Robert C. Smith ©2011 Alexis Silver ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ALEXIS SILVER: Growing Up “Gringo”: How Immigrant and Second Generation Youth Navigate Their Transitions to Adulthood in a Small Town, New Immigrant Destination (Under the Direction of Jacqueline M. Hagan and Ted Mouw) My dissertation examines incorporation patterns for immigrant and second generation Latina/o youths in a small town, new immigrant destination in the rural South. Previous studies have explored the pathway to adulthood for children of immigrants coming of age in metropolitan areas and traditional migrant destinations, but scholars know little about this process for adolescents in small towns and new migrant destinations. This ethnographic study was conducted between 2007 and 2011 in a small community in central North Carolina where half of the population is Hispanic, and 75 percent of the adult Hispanic population is foreign-born. Between 1990 and 2008, North Carolina saw a 508 percent increase in its population of children of immigrants. Recognizing the importance of this demographic shift, my research engages directly with a North Carolina community that has been transformed by Latina/o immigration. My research examines the influences of immigration status and gender on the incorporation of Latina/o children of immigrants.
