Project Description

The project focuses on the vigilance of persons of Latino descent in San Diego who are racialized as migrants despite being U.S. citizens. It examines processes of upward social mobility and the resulting ambivalences toward belonging. We highlight the interplay of self-perception and perception by others, of adaptation, demarcation, and introspection, which, in the racialized context of the U.S.-Mexico borderland, produces vigilant actors who navigate predominantly "white" social spaces.
