Routledge Migrants and Race in the US - Sociology Book

Explore the complex dynamics of identity and belonging in Migrants and Race in the US: Territorial Racism and the Alien/Outside. Part of the Routledge Research in Race and Ethnicity series, this academic work examines how migrants are viewed as racial others. It moves beyond simple nonwhite classifications to look at how being racially 'alien' separates migrants from the indigenous racial categories of the United States. In the US context, where racial categories are often defined by white and black identities, Kretsedemas investigates the unique position of the migrant. The book looks at how this specific type of racialization creates a paradox where migrants are simultaneously racialized and positioned outside of traditional racial structures. This text provides a deep look into the social and political implications of territorial racism and how it shapes the lives of those moving across borders.
