PDF-(READ)-Fit to Be Citizens?: Public Health and Race in Los Angeles, 1879-1939 (Volume 20)

Meticulously researched and beautifully written Fit to Be Citizens demonstrates how both science and public health shaped the meaning of race in the early twentieth century Through a careful examination of the experiences of Mexican Japanese and Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles Natalia Molina illustrates the many ways local health officials used complexly constructed concerns about public health to demean diminish discipline and ultimately define racial groups She shows how the racialization of Mexican Americans was not simply a matter of legal exclusion or labor exploitation but rather that scientific discourses and public health practices played a key role in assigning negative racial characteristics to the group The book skillfully moves beyond the binary oppositions that usually structure works in ethnic studies by deploying comparative and relational approaches that reveal the racialization of Mexican Americans as intimately associated with the relative historical and social positions of Asian Americans African Americans and whites Its rich archival grounding provides a valuable history of public health in Los Angeles living conditions among Mexican immigrants and the ways in which regional racial categories influence national laws and practices Molinas compelling study advances our understanding of the complexity of racial politics attesting that racism is not static and that different groups can occupy different places in the racial order at different times.

Take the case of an American chicken farmer way back in 1942, who sued the U.S. government for flying military aircraft on a runway close to his farm; the farmer claimed that the flights were scaring his poultry and damaging his livelihood, and he wanted compensation. Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, his case made it to the Supreme Court in 1946 and as a direct result, the Court set the limits of private airspace: if you’re a property owner then your property rights go all the way up to 83 feet in the air. In fact, to this day, this remains the only clear federal statement of law as to how far above your property should legal ownership end. What’s the survey? .

These years shaped the emergence of what Natalia Molina describes as an immigration regime, which defined the racial categories that continue to influence perceptions in the United States about Mexican Americans, race, and ethnicity. Molina demonstrates that despite the multiplicity of influences that help shape our concept of race, common themes prevail. Examining legal, political, social, and cultural sources related to immigration, she advances the theory that our understanding of race is socially constructed in relational ways—that is, in correspondence to other groups. Molina introduces and explains her central theory, racial scripts, which highlights the ways in which the lives of racialized groups are linked across time and space and thereby affect one another. How Race Is Made in America also shows that these racial scripts are easily adopted and adapted to apply to different racial groups.\" A . Syndemic. Spatial Analysis of HIV and STI Burden.
