<http://is.gd/BuMYlC> Latino Urban Ethnography and the Work of Elena Padilla <http://is.gd/BuMYlC>
Edited by Mérida Rúa, Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts
“The book rightly positions Padilla as a central contributor to the emergence of the modern urban ethnographic tradition and its emphasis on race, ethnicity, and immigration. Students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, and Latino studies will benefit from this important work.”─Alford A. Young Jr., author of The Minds of Marginalized Black Men: Making Sense of Mobility, Opportunity, and Future Life Chances
This study reclaims and builds upon the classic work of anthropologist Elena Padilla. The volume includes an annotated edition of Padilla’s 1947 University of Chicago master’s thesis, which broke with traditional urban ethnographies and examined racial identities and interethnic relations. Weighing the importance of gender and the interplay of labour, residence, and social networks, Padilla examined the integration of Puerto Rican migrants into the social and cultural life of the larger community where they settled. Also included are four original essays that foreground the significance of Padilla’s early study about Latinos in Chicago. Contributors discuss the implications of her groundbreaking contributions to urban ethnographic traditions and to the development of Puerto Rican studies and Latina/o studies.
