“…Nevertheless, and unlike the race paradigm, it falls short of acknowledging the real material impact that structural racism has on middle class minorities' capacity to achieve economic parity with whites. Aranda and Rebollo (2004) offer another approach that examines the impact of structural racism on middle class minorities. They argue that "the racialization of ethnicity has resulted in ethnoracism," (2004,913) which is part of a system of racial oppression.…”

The study of U.S. racial and ethnic relations is often reduced to the study of racial or ethnic relations. This article reveals the limitations of a focus on ethnicity or race, in isolation, and instead urges a new framework that brings them together. We consider three cases that have been conceptualized by the ethnicity paradigm as assimilation projects and by the race paradigm as structural racism projects, respectively: 1) African-American entrepreneurs; 2) the Mexican middle class; and 3) black immigrant deportees. We reveal the shortcomings of the ethnicity paradigm to consider race as a structural force or to acknowledge that structural racism conditions incorporation in marked ways; and the limitations of the race paradigm to take seriously group members' agency in fostering social capital that can mediate racial inequality. Instead, we offer a unifying approach to reveals how ethnicity and race condition members' life chances within the U.S. social structure.

“…For example, Aranda and Rebollo-Gil's (2004) informants rejected others' assumptions that they were white, and insisted that they were Puerto Rican. Likewise, Turnovksy's (2004) Panamanian informants rejected others' labeling of them as black by emphasizing their non-African-American ethnic attributes.…”

Early assimilation theorists predicted the eventual loss of ethnic distinctiveness for immigrants in the United States. In this paper, the author not only questions the possibilities that Latino and Latina Americans have for losing their ethnic distinctiveness, but also proposes that these possibilities vary widely within the Hispanic population. The central question posed in this paper is: In addition to traditional predictors

“…Additionally, race scholarship is moving toward incorporating other types of racism, moving beyond skin tone. For example, ethnoracism (Arando and Gil ) is a concept that incorporates cultural markers, such as clothing, language, and beliefs, as the basis for racism. Thus, cultural racism has become more prominent in understanding the complexity of racism for newer immigrant populations both in the United States and Europe (Modood 2005; Bonilla‐Silva ).…”

Racialization and Muslims: Situating the Muslim Experience in Race Scholarship

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article reviews how racialization enables an understanding of Muslim and Muslim American experience as racial. Race scholarship in the United States has historically been a Black/White paradigm. As a result, the experiences of many racial and ethnic groups who have become a part of the American landscape due to the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 have largely been ignored in race scholarship. By reviewing racialization and its application to Arabs and Muslims, it is apparent that scholars must continuously explore newer theories and languages of race. Racialization not only provides a way to understand the fluidity of race and racism but it also contributes to the advancement of race scholarship by reflecting on the current contextual influences on race.
