New Book Talks: Laura E. Gómez - Inventing Latinos

CSREA’s New Book series highlights new and notable work in the study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity from scholars both internal and external to Brown. The aim is to facilitate thought-provoking and critical engagement with emerging scholarship that better helps us to understand how we study, research, and engage with studies of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity. This New Book Talk features Laura E. Gómez from the University of California Los Angeles. Her recent work, "Inventing Latinos: A New Story of American Racism" charts the creation of the Latinx racial identity. It poses crucial questions as the Latino population in the United States grows past 20%--how does racism make some people's race less malleable than others? Is race something we choose, or something we are given by others? Gómez's legally-based perspective charts how the policies and attitudes of White supremacy adapt to control and confine new racial groups. Laura E. Gómez is the Rachel F. Moran Endowed Chair in Law at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She is the Director of the Critical Race Studies Program (and was its co-founder in 2000). She is the recipient of the 2021 American Bar Foundation Outstanding Scholar Award and numerous other professional recognitions. This talk is moderated by Laura Lopez-Sanders, Assistant Professor of Sociology.
