Arriving in southern communities as migrants or refugees, Latinas/os and Asians have experienced both begrudging acceptance and prejudice as their presence confronts and troubles local understandings of race and difference--understandings that have deep roots in each community's particular racial history, as well as in national fears and anxieties about race. Nuevo South offers the first comparative study showing how Latinas/os and Asians are transforming race and place in the contemporary South. Integrating political, economic, and social analysis, Perla M. Guerrero examines the reception of Vietnamese, Cubans, and Mexicans in northwestern Arkansas communities that were almost completely white until the mid-1970s. She shows how reactions to these refugees and immigrants ranged from reluctant acceptance of Vietnamese as former US allies to rejection of Cubans as communists, criminals, and homosexuals and Mexicans as "illegal aliens" who were perceived as invaders when they began to establish roots and became more visible in public spaces. Guerrero's research clarifies how social relations are constituted in the labor sphere, particularly the poultry industry, and reveals the legacies of regional history, especially anti-Black violence and racial cleansing. Nuevo South thus helps us to better understand what constitutes the so-called Nuevo South and how historical legacies shape the reception of new people in the region. 410 0$aHistoria USA. 606 $aHispanic Americans$zArkansas 606 $aCuban Americans$zArkansas 606 $aVietnamese Americans$zArkansas 606 $aSocial integration$zArkansas$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRefugees$zArkansas 606 $aImmigrants$zArkansas$xSocial conditions 606 $aCuban Americans$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00884777 606 $aEmigration and immigration$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00908690 606 $aHispanic Americans$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00957523 606 $aImmigrants$xSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00967782 606 $aRace relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086509 606 $aRefugees$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01092797 606 $aSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 606 $aSocial integration$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01122550 606 $aVietnamese Americans$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01166663 607 $aArkansas$xSocial conditions 607 $aArkansas$xRace relations 607 $aArkansas$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aArkansas$2fast 615 0$aHispanic Americans 615 0$aCuban Americans 615 0$aVietnamese Americans 615 0$aSocial integration$xHistory 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aCuban Americans. 615 7$aEmigration and immigration. 615 7$aHispanic Americans. 615 7$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aRace relations. 615 7$aRefugees. 615 7$aSocial conditions. 615 7$aSocial integration. 615 7$aVietnamese Americans. 676 $a305.8009767 700 $aGuerrero$b Perla M.$01771171 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910886019903321 996 $aNuevo South$94256847 997 $aUNINA
