“…Lastly, but not to be overlooked, we examine an understudied group in the discrimination literature, Hijabis. Given the rise of tension resulting from the increasing presence of Muslims in the western landscape (Cainkar, 2002), it is important for research to attempt to gain a deeper understanding of contemporary social issues concerning discrimination in the workplace and to provide new insights regarding the experiences of this particular minority group as they navigate the American work context. Below, we review the extant literature on religious discrimination in the workplace and explain why Hijabis have come to be a stigmatized group in the USA today.…”

This study addresses discrimination that individuals who wear religious attire encounter during the hiring process. We build from the relational demography literature and contemporary research on discrimination in the workplace to propose possible discriminatory effects against Hijabis (Muslim women who wear the headscarf). Specifically, we conduct a field experiment in which confederates portraying Hijabis or not applied for jobs at stores and restaurants. Evidence for formal discrimination (job call backs, permission to complete application), interpersonal discrimination (perceived negativity, perceived interest), and low expectations to receive job offers in the workplace was found for Hijabi confederates. Furthermore, Hijabis were less likely to receive call backs when there was low employee diversity compared to when there was high employee diversity. Implications of these findings with regards to Hijabis and organizations are discussed.

A expressão 2 de maior ressonância das mobilizações, verdadeiramente sem precedentes, de imigrantes nos Estados Unidos em 2006 foi uma proclamação em massa de rebeldia coletiva: ¡Aquí estamos y no nos vamos! Este mesmo slogan foi frequentemente acompanhado por uma afirmação ainda mais vigorosa, incorrigível: ¡Y si nos sacan, nos regresamos! É impressionante e, como este ensaio sustenta, não apenas provocativo, mas até genuinamente produtivo notar a afinidade entre a articulação fundamental dessa política radicalmente aberta de presença migrante com as políticas abjetas semelhantes e profundamente desestabilizadoras da presença queer. De maneira muito semelhante ao slogan: "Nós estamos aqui, nós somos queer, acostume-se com isso!", a proclamação dinâmica dessas frases no contexto das mobilizações de massa de migrantes comprova um espírito irredutível de irreverência e desafeição em relação ao poder do Estado. Ambos os gestos, sem restrições e sem remorsos, não atestam somente sua irreversível presença, mas sustentam também o desafio intransigente de sua intrínseca incorrigibilidade 3 . Palavras-chave: migração irregular, guerra contra o terrorismo, deportação/ deportabilidade, políticas de mobilidade, políticas de presença.

The most resounding expression of the truly unprecedented mobilizations of migrants throughout the United States in 2006 was a mass proclamation of collective defiance: ¡Aquí Estamos, y No Nos Vamos! [Here we are, and we're not leaving!]. This same slogan was commonly accompanied by a still more forcefully incorrigible rejoinder: ¡Y Si Nos Sacan, Nos Regresamos! [... and if they throw us out, we'll come right back!]. It is quite striking and, as this essay contends, not merely provocative but genuinely productive to note the affinity between the crucial articulation of this radically open-ended politics of migrant presence with the similarly abject and profoundly destabilizing politics of queer presence. In a manner remarkably analogous to the slogan, "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!", the dynamic enunciation of these phrases in the context of the mass mobilizations of migrants asserted an irreducible spirit of irreverence and disaffection for state power. Both gestures unreservedly and unapologetically assert not only their irreversible presence, furthermore, but also uphold the intractable challenge of their own intrinsic incorrigibility.
