内容摘要: 从1990年早期,拉丁人就开始移民到美国南部,迄今这一移民潮改变了这个地区人口的面貌。特别在学龄人口中,拉丁人的增长率是最快的。尽管在新的美国南部出现了关于改变种族和族群关系的印刷品,但有关南部学校中拉丁青年的融合的研究却很少。基于一个四年的民族志数据和在北卡罗来纳的一个镇进行的深度访谈的研究,本文提出在新的移民目的地学校里建立基于拉丁青年族群身份的俱乐部具有巨大的好处。当拉丁裔和非洲裔美国人在他们社区面对歧视的时候,拉丁学生在学校能得到更正式的支持,这有助于保护他们避免歧视造成的负面影响。
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.
