“…Similar to Chicano spelled like Xicano/a or Xicanx, the “x” has been connected to Indigenous languages (Rodríguez, 2017; Vidal-Ortiz & Martínez, 2018). The “x” also confronts the namelessness violence of colonization, slavery, and systematic marginalization of Indigenous peoples throughout the American continent (Engel, 2017; Milian, 2017; Santos, 2017).…”

“…In the United States, arguments to promote the usage of the term Latinx have only been grounded in the binary notions of the colonial Spanish language (deOnís, 2017). In Spanish, all nouns have a gender wherein those ending in “o” tend to be masculine, and those ending in “a” tend to be feminine (Rodríguez, 2017; Salinas & Lozano, 2019; Vidal-Ortiz & Martínez, 2018). Contrarily, other “romance languages are gendered through standard language conventions, particularly nouns, articles, indirect objects, and groups of people” (deOnís, 2017, p. 81).…”

The usage of term Latinx has gained popularity in higher education settings. This study documents how 34 Latinx/a/o students relate to, identify with, and understand the term Latinx. Participants perceive higher education as a privileged space where they use the term Latinx. Once they return to their communities, they do not use the term. Due to the variations in understandings of the term, the author contends that one should consider using the term Latin*.

“…Work on NB language has remained largely Anglocentric (Ashley, 2017; Baril, 2017a), with some research undertaken in languages such as Danish (Miltersen, 2018), German (Hord, 2016; Motschenbacher, 2014), Japanese (Dale, 2012), Spanish (Acosta Matos, 2018; Vidal‐Ortiz & Martínez, 2018), and Swedish (Hord, 2016). Comparatively, NB French remains an area of nascent research.…”

Military, Race, and Urbanization: Lessons of Environmental Injustice from Las Vegas, Nevada

Environmental justice scholarship argues state power perpetrates environmental inequalities, but less is known about the U.S. Military’s impact on local urban environmental inequalities. To evaluate the role of the military in contributing to environmental health disparities, I draw on the case study of Las Vegas, Nevada, a southwestern city with active military sites. The analysis uses environmental health, demographic, and Geographic Information System (GIS) data from federal and county agencies. Findings from spatial error models support environmental inequality and treadmill of destruction hypotheses by demonstrating that census tracts in closer proximity to military areas have greater estimated cancer risk from air toxics. Census tracts with a higher percent of poor and Latinx residents, independent of their proximity to military areas, have an additional increase in exposure to air pollution. The case study of Las Vegas offers important lessons of environmental injustice on Latinx environmental health vulnerability and military sites in urban areas.
