Description

This dissertation explores the potential and pitfalls of forging a race-based political solidarity among racial(ized) groups that comprise large or fast-growing immigrant populations. Historically, racial solidarity beliefs and actions, particularly among African Americans, have shaped American politics and society in consistent and often profoundly significant ways. However, in the contemporary United States, amidst tremendous shifts in the racial and ethnic composition of the populace and the reemergence of "colorblind" rhetoric as "post-racial" discourse, the role of racial solidarity has become increasingly uncertain. This dissertation investigates the intragroup contours and dynamics that underlie this uncertainty among two groups, Asian Americans and Latinos. Drawing on data from a combination of nationally representative surveys (Election 2008 and Beyond Survey, National Asian American Survey, Latino National Survey), in-depth interviews conducted in Chicago (including undocumented immigrants), and an additional set of survey experiments (from original surveys fielded with an extensive battery of questions on immigration and race), I argue that racial solidarity is a critical but inherently elusive political resource for Asian American and Latino communities to develop and deploy in the post-1965, post-9/11 political context. Its potential remains largely unrealized, weakened not only by the inescapable challenges of ethnic heterogeneity but also by the secondary marginalization of less privileged group members and the perpetual burdens of incorporating new or recent immigrants into the group. Ultimately, the dissertation brings new insights to bear on whether and when perceptions of racial solidarity politically matter among Asian Americans and Latinos, foregrounding implications for efficacious collective mobilization both across and within groups.
