Here, Cecilia Márquez uses social and cultural history methods to assess the racial logics that have shaped the Latinx experience in the region since the middle of the twentieth century. Structuring her argument around several major themes that frequently signpost the history of the South and of race relations in the United States-- the rise of an increasingly mobile middle class, the civil rights movement and fight over school integration, the growth global connection of the region's economy, and political conflict over immigration -- Márquez reveals how Latinx people in the South have confronted both whiteness and antiblackness, and how cultural boundaries to exclude Black people from full participation in the life of the region and nation have been essential to the construction of Latinx as a category"-- Provided by publisher Notes Description based upon print version of record Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Latin Americans -- Southern States -- Social conditions -- 20th century Hispanic Americans -- Southern States -- Social conditions -- 20th century Latin Americans -- Race identity -- Southern States Hispanic Americans -- Race identity -- Southern States Racism -- Social aspects -- Southern States Latin Americans -- Southern States -- Ethnic identity Hispanic Americans -- Southern States -- Ethnic identity Racism against Hispanic Americans -- Southern States Racism against Latin Americans -- Southern States SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / Hispanic American Studies Race relations -- Social aspects Latin Americans -- Social conditions Latin Americans -- Ethnic identity Hispanic Americans -- Social conditions Hispanic Americans -- Ethnic identity SUBJECT Southern States -- Race relations -- Social aspects Subject Southern States Form Electronic book ISBN 1469676079 9781469676074
