  • Latinas/os in New Jersey: Histories, Communities, and Cultures

    January 23, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
    Labyrinth Books, 122 Nassau St, Princeton, NJ 08542, USA

    LOCATION CHANGE: Event has moved to Labyrinth Books. 

    Since the 1890s, New Jersey has attracted hundreds of thousands of Caribbean and Latin American migrants. The state’s rich economic history, high-income suburbs, and strong public sector have all contributed to attracting, retaining, and setting the stage for Latin American and Caribbean immigrants and secondary-step migrants from New York City. Since the 1980s, however, Latinos have developed a more complex presence in the state’s political landscape and institutions. The emergence of Latino-majority towns and cities and coalition politics facilitated the election of Latino mayors, council persons, and many social and community leaders, as well as the election of statewide officers. This collection brings together innovative and empirically grounded scholarship from different disciplines and interdisciplinary fields of study and addresses topics including the demographic history of Latinos in the state, Latino migration from gateway cities to suburban towns, Latino urban enclaves, Latino economic and social mobility, Latino students and education, the New Jersey Dream Act and in-state tuition act organizing, Latinos and criminal justice reform, Latino electoral politics and leadership, and undocumented communities. 

    Join authors Ulla Berg and Aldo Lauria Santiago as they discuss their recent publication Latinas/os in New Jersey: Histories, Communities, and Cultures.

    The American Revolution in New Jersey lasted eight long years, during which many were caught in the middle of a vicious civil war. "Taking Sides" uses numerous brief biographies to illustrate the American Revolution’s complexity; it quotes from documents, pamphlets, diaries, letters, and poetry, a variety of sources to provide insight into the thoughts and reactions of those living through it all.
