Monika Gosin challenges exclusionary arguments pitting these groups against one another and depicts instead the nuanced ways in which identities have been constructed, negotiated, rejected, and reclaimed in the context of Miami's historical multiethnic tensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on ideas of \"legitimacy,\" Gosin argues that dominant race-making ideologies of the white establishment regarding \"worthy citizenship\" and national belonging shape inter-minority conflict as groups negotiate their precarious positioning within the nation. Rejecting oversimplified and divisive racial politics, \u003cem\u003eThe Racial Politics of Division \u003c\/em\u003eportrays the lived experiences of African Americans, white Cubans, and Afro-Cubans as disrupters in the binary frames of worth-citizenship narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForegrounding the oft-neglected voices of Afro-Cubans, Gosin posits new narratives regarding racial positioning and notions of solidarity in Miami. By looking back to interethnic conflict that foreshadowed current demographic and social trends, she provides us with lessons for current debates surrounding immigration, interethnic relations, and national belonging. Gosin also shows us that despite these new demographic realities, white racial power continues to reproduce itself by requiring complicity of racialized groups in exchange for a tenuous claim on US citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of Cornell University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52651454529903,"sku":"9781501738241","price":247.27,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/1501738240.jpg?v=1770675038","url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/racial-politics-of-division","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
