The U.S. Southeast has become a harbinger of twenty-first-century immigrant integration and race relations. Its unique characteristics of rapid demographic change, an explosion of anti-immigrant policies, cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and large African American population, have made the region a dynamic indicator of how race and race relations are changing throughout the country. For immigrant newcomers, like in generations past, how they will come to identify themselves, and are situated in the U.S. racial hierarchy, is an ongoing process of great interest to scholars and policymakers alike. Drawing from 12 months of ethnographic research, 86 interviews, and inductive analysis of three local newspapers, The Browning of the New South demonstrates how the marginalization and racialization of Latinos compels them to self-identify as racial minorities and to develop positive social and political ties with blacks. Specifically, this book shows that within a context of minimal economic competition, Latinos’ new racial identity arises from two related processes: a political backlash against Latino immigration that results in downward mobility and what I call ‘reverse incorporation,' and through on-the-ground relations with native-born community members, whose attitudes and practices shape newcomers’ ideas about race. By highlighting the role of context in shaping intergroup relationships, these findings undermine pervasive assumptions of black-brown conflict and unpacks the social processes that produce intergroup solidarity and political action.Less

EMI was making progress with MRI. They obtained a 0.1 T electro-magnet and tried imaging a human head. During one group meeting a member of the electronic support group entered the room who turned out to be Ian Young, formerly of E.R. Watts. He was not EMI’s only consultant on MRI. In Nottingham, Andrew obtained his Wolfson grant. They obtained a head image by the sensitive point method. Disquiet emerged within the group. Following Raymond’s taking the group’s latest and best slide for a conference meeting to which he’d been invited. Because of this action, Moore and Holland denied Raymond any further images and further collaboration ceased. From that point on there were 3 independent groups in the Physics Department, Mine, Moore’s and Andrew’s. Paul Bottomley, Andrew’s research student, claimed in his thesis, that it would be difficult to image at frequencies much above 4 MHz. In their book, NMR Imaging in Biomedicine by Mansfield and Morris, a figure of 10 MHz was suggested. He was able to recruit Terry Baines, an electronic engineer, who helped in the design and construction of equipment. The Germany company, Siemens engaged him for a period as a consultant and took on Andrew Maudsley to help design their first MRI scanner. The head of their MRI section was Dr Schittenhelm. As the 1980’s progressed, his research group made a collective decision on EPI. Various members concentrated on the theory and applications of EPI. Roger Ordidge made a movie of a live rabbit and presented a paper at an international conference held in Winston Salem, North Carolina. His talk was a show stopper, showing the world’s first MRI movie of a living animal. In 1991 Penny Gowland joined the group making significant improvements to their paediatric imaging. In the mid-eighties Michael Stehling, a German, joined the author's group. He was a medical doctor and a physicist. He worked hard to improve the quality of their images and also to extend the range of pathologies studied.Less

This chapter introduces the issue of increasing demographic change in the U.S. South and considers how such change is impacting race relations and racial formation in the region. Prevailing views on race relations suggest that intergroup hostility and competition would be the norm, especially between blacks and Latinos. In Winston-Salem North Carolina, however, and throughout the region, blacks and Latinos are increasingly building coalitions and social ties. To examine this unexpected outcome, Chapter 1 looks to the race and immigration literatures to theorize how race is made and lived in the Winston-Salem context. This chapter lays out the mixed qualitative methods methodological approach and makes the overarching argument that how Latino newcomers are incorporated, and the dynamic nature of incorporation, both play an important role in shaping the racialization process.Less

This chapter describes the setting and details the early stages of community-level change in Winston-Salem. Linking daily interpersonal interactions with large-scale political and economic shifts that shaped community relations through the 1990s, Chapter 2 provides a historical overview of race relations and economic conditions prior to massive demographic change. The chapter then zooms out to macro-level factors that shaped the area over the next two decades, providing a brief overview of the push-pull factors that brought Mexican migrants to North Carolina. Chapter 2 ends by elucidating a period of both heightened economic prosperity and demographic change, a time of growth, mobility, and opportunity for all residents.Less

Chapter 4 details the racialization of Mexicans in Winston-Salem after 2005. Latinos in the region experienced a sudden shift that altered their interpretation of their position within the racial hierarchy. Because Mexicans were aware of the discrimination faced by blacks in the region and saw that their interactions with blacks and whites were divergent, they came to interpret their discrimination experiences as akin to those of blacks. This led to a sense of Latino identity that was distinctly racialized. Chapter 4 emphasizes the relational nature of racial formation and details the Latino racialization and resulting identity formation among Latinos in the Winston-Salem area.Less

Chapter 5 considers intergroup relations between Mexicans and African Americans in Winston-Salem. Contrary to previous studies, this chapter shows that a sense of shared minority status coupled with an absence of resource competition facilitated a high level of positive intergroup relations and social support between these racial minorities and increased the social distance between both groups and whites. This chapter describes the on-the-ground interactions and institutional efforts that shaped intergroup relations and make the case that status is key in formulating relationships among blacks, whites, and Latinos, producing what I call minority linked fate.Less
