Scenes of Latin* White Precarity: Negotiating Identity in the Racial Bubble of Miami and Beyond
Abstract
In this study, I present “scenes” of Latin* white precarity: narratives of white Latin* college students’ racial experience in Miami and beyond the city. Situating these accountings in relation to my own experiences as a Black Latin* researcher, this paper is driven largely by scholarly personal narrative (Heidelberger & Uecker, 2009; Nash, 2015) and narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1990). Participants’ stories revealed how, within Miami, they did not think of themselves on racial terms, while outside the city they were compelled to reckon with their ethnoracial identities.
