活動概覽:

The Department of Sociology is pleased to announce an upcoming seminar titled “The Classed Ethnoracialization of Space in Los Angeles, USA”, presented by our Distinguished Visiting Professor, Prof. Min ZHOU from UCLA. This seminar is co-organized with the Center for Population Research (CPR) at CUHK.

講座摘要:

This lecture zooms in on the relationship between urbanization and migration to address a central question: How have urbanization and immigration dynamics intertwined to shape and reshape the built environment, creating opportunities and challenges that are consequential for immigrant integration? Using Los Angeles as a case, Professor Min Zhou will offer an analysis of the classed ethnoracialization of space—Latinization of South Los Angeles and Asianization of the San Gabriel Valley (LA’s suburb). She shows that ethnoracial spatialization is affected by historically unique urban development and contemporary immigrant selectivity, leading to evolving spatial patterns along nonlinear and non-White-centric dimensions of residential assimilation, more specifically, along Black-Latino and White-Asian axes. In South LA, Latino immigrants live alongside Black residents. Shared experiences of racism and socioeconomic deprivation widen Black-Brown linked fate to create novel platforms for place-based identity formation and political resistance. In the San Gabriel Valley, Chinese immigrants of diverse class and cultural backgrounds carve out a different path to residential assimilation by building an American ethnoburb without much contact with Whites. Despite clear inequalities across the Black-Latino and White-Asian axes, neither case converges uniformly towards Whiteness. She concludes by discussing the implications of these intersecting dynamics for research on racial segregation and structural inequality.
