Yalidy Matos (Assistant Professor of Political Science and Latino and Caribbean Studies, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Latino and Caribbean Studies, Rutgers University): Moral and Immoral Whiteness in Immigration Politics
Immigration has been at the heart of US politics for centuries. In Moral and Immoral Whiteness in Immigration Politics, Yalidy Matos examines the inherent moral, value-based, nature of white Americans' immigration attitudes, including preferences on local immigration enforcement programs, federal immigration policy, and levels of legal immigration allowed. She examines the conditions under which white Americans choose to reproduce a system structured on white supremacy or repudiate it, as well as the role of socialization in their choices and immigration attitudes. As immigration continues to be weaponized to divide, Matos highlights the importance in understanding the roots of immigration attitudes in the United States and the ways in which whiteness structures these attitudes.
