Abstract: The influx of Latin American immigrants into the US South since the early 1990s has changed the demographic face of the region. Particularly among school-aged populations where the rate of growth among Latinos has been the fastest. Despite an emerging literature addressing changing racial and ethnic relations in the new US South, relatively little research has addressed the incorporation of Latino youths within southern schools. Relying on date from a four-year ethnographic and in-depth interview study in one North Carolina town, Findings suggest powerful benefits of ethnic-identity based clubs for Latino youths in new immigrant destination school. While both Latino and African American respondents faced discrimination within their community, Latino students received more formal support at school, which helped shields them from the negative impacts of discrimination.
内容摘要:20世纪90年代早期以来,拉丁美洲移民涌入美国南部的浪潮改变了这个地区人口的面貌。特别是在学龄人口当中,拉丁美洲人的增长率一直是最快的。尽管出现了展示新的美国南部种族和族裔关系改变的研究文献,但涉及南部学校中拉丁美洲青年整合的研究却很少。基于在北卡罗来纳一个镇进行的为期四年的民族志数据和深度访谈研究可以发现,在新的移民目的地学校之中,以拉丁美洲青年俱乐部为基础的族裔认同具有巨大好处。尽管拉丁裔和非裔美国移民在他们社区里会面对歧视,但拉丁裔学生在学校能够得到更为正式的支持,这有助于帮助他们避免因歧视造成的负面影响。
