Studies of immigration to the United States have traditionally
focused on a few key states and urban centers, but recent shifts in
nonwhite settlement mean that these studies no longer paint the
whole picture. Many Latino newcomers are flocking to places like
the Southeast, where traditionally few such immigrants have
settled, resulting in rapidly redrawn communities. In this historic
moment, Jennifer Jones brings forth an ethnographic look at
changing racial identities in one Southern city: Winston-Salem,
North Carolina. This city turns out to be a natural experiment in
race relations, having quickly shifted in the past few decades from
a neatly black and white community to a triracial one. Jones tells
the story of contemporary Winston-Salem through the eyes of its new
Latino residents, revealing untold narratives of inclusion,
exclusion, and interracial alliances. The Browning of the New South
reveals how one community’s racial realignments mirror and
anticipate the future of national politics.
