Lecture by Simone Delerme “Spanglish Reflections and Nuyorican Dreams: Latinos in the US South”
Simone Delerme, McMullan Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Southern Studies, will present a lecture in the UM Department of Sociology and Anthropology Fall Lecture Series on Friday, September 23 at noon in Lamar Hall 555.
“Spanglish Reflections and Nuyorican Dreams: Latinos in the US South”
One of the most notable migratory shifts in recent decades is Latino settlement and community formation in new, southern destinations. This self-reflexive talk features documentary photography that will take the audience on a journey South, from Spanish Harlem (New York), 4th Street (Delaware), and the suburb where Boricuas Viven Libres/Puerto Ricans Live Free (Florida) to Mundo Latino/Latino World in Northern Mississippi. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2001 and 2016, Delerme will discuss ethnic identity, language ideologies, and the process of place-making in comparative perspective.
