An exploration of how race shapes Latino millennials' notions of
national belonging Latino millennials constitute the second largest
segment of the millennial population. By sheer numbers they will
inevitably have a significant social, economic, and political
impact on U.S. society. Beyond basic demographics, however, not
much is known about how they make sense of themselves as Americans.
In Citizens but Not Americans,Nilda Flores-Gonzalez examines how
Latino millennials understand race, experience race, and develop
notions of belonging. Based on nearly one hundred interviews,
Flores-Gonzalez argues that though these young Latina/os are U.S.
citizens by birth, they do not feel they are part of the "American
project," and are forever at the margins looking in. The book
provides an inside look at how characteristics such as ancestry,
skin color, social class, gender, language and culture converge and
shape these youths' feelings of belonging as they navigate everyday
racialization. The voices of Latino millennials reveal their
understanding of racialization along three dimensions-as an
ethno-race, as a racial middle and as 'real' Americans. Using
familiar tropes, these youths contest the othering that negates
their Americanness while constructing notions of belonging that
allow them to locate themselves as authentic members of the
American national community. Challenging current thinking about
race and national belonging, Citizens but Not Americans
significantly contributes to our understanding of the Latino
millennial generation and makes a powerful argument about the
nature of race and belonging in the U.S.
