Taking into consideration the South’s historically powerful racial binary, this project examines the Hispanic migration to Central Florida, and the ways that race and class based identities and distinctions are formulated and experienced in new destinations of Hispanic migration. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork, this project combines traditional anthropological methodologies with innovative textual analysis to interweave data gathered through participant observation, informal and semi-structured interviews, archival research, census data, and new media. Organized into seven thematic chapters, this dissertation addresses: Hispanic migration, community development, and homeownership; language ideologies and racialization; and social class formation and distinctions.
