Cecilia Márquez guides readers through time and place from Washington, DC, to the deep South, tracing how non-Black Latino people moved through the region’s evolving racial landscape. In considering Latino presence in the South’s schools, its workplaces, its tourist destinations, and more, Márquez tells a challenging story of race-making that defies easy narratives of progressive change and promises to reshape the broader American histories of Jim Crow, the civil rights movement, immigration, work, and culture.

Reviews
"Marquez's field-changing history of the US South is the first to show us why racial diversity within categories such as 'Mexican' or 'Latino' matters for the region’s past and future."—Julie Weise, University of Oregon
