Studies of immigration to the United States have traditionally focused
on a few key states and urban centers, but recent shifts in nonwhite
settlement mean that these studies no longer paint the whole picture.
Many Latino newcomers are flocking to places like the Southeast, where
typically few such immigrants have settled, resulting in rapidly
redrawn communities. In this historic moment, Jennifer Jones brings
forth an ethnographic look at changing racial identities in one
Southern city: Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This city turns out to
be a natural experiment in race relations, having quickly shifted in
the past few decades from a neatly black and white community to a
triracial one. Jones tells the story of contemporary Winston-Salem
through the eyes of its new Latino residents, revealing untold
narratives of inclusion, exclusion, and interracial alliances. The
Browning of the New South reveals how one community’s racial
realignments mirror and anticipate the future of national politics.
