Book Chapter
Bienvenidos a Hoosierlandia
2015
Overview
This book explores the complex nature of representation and belonging in a midwestern landscape, the city of Lafayette in Indiana. It considers the border as a spatial metaphor that emerged during the 2006 immigration debate, along with the implications of this debate for Latino cultural citizenship. Focusing on the experiences of Latino Hoosiers, the book shows how Latino families, through their bordered negotiations, claimed their own social and physical space in Lafayette. It also examines how Latinos and non-Latinos interacted in Lafayette and sought ways to participate and belong as recognized members of local, regional, national, and transnational communities. Finally, it discusses the ways that Latino Hoosiers continue to alter the changing face of the Midwest through their lives and daily affirmations to ethnic belonging. The book argues that the resiliency of Latino residents amid inhospitable environments can inform other areas of the country that are facing their own politics of belonging.
