SIDELIGHTS
Anna Sampaio is an associate professor and the chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California. Previously, she was an associate professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Rutgers University and a professor of political science at the University of Colorado, Denver. Sampaio’s areas of expertise include Latino politics, race and gender politics, gender theory, transnationalism, and immigration. She has written on immigration, transnational Latino communities, and Latino politics, as well as more specialized topics such as Colorado politics and the Salazar brothers, Latino Democrats who narrowly won contested political elections in Colorado in 2004. Sampaio also blogs on race, gender, and politics for a variety of organizations.
In 2002, Sampaio coedited the anthology Transnational Latina/o Communities: Politics, Processes, and Cultures with Carlos G. Vélez-Ibáñez and Manolo González-Estay. The book consists of essays that address transnational issues concerning gender, race, and class, as well as migration, interdependency, and social inequality. The various contributors propose theoretical and methodological frameworks for understanding human identity, material culture, and rural and urban innovations at the local level. Specific topics discussed in the essays include the Americanization of Puerto Ricans, black Latinos, folklore and Mexican rodeos, global trade agreements, and the transnational economics of the food-processing industry. Noting “the high quality of each of the constituent articles,” Journal of American Ethnic History contributor Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas observed that this “is one of those rare anthologies in which every single essay stands on its own merits” as a peer-reviewed article. Ramos-Zayas also suggested that “portions of the volume could serve as useful pedagogical tools.”
In 2015, Sampaio published Terrorizing Latina/o Immigrants: Race, Gender, and Immigration Politics in the Age of Security. In this volume, she describes how the War on Terror has initiated heightened national security measures that have targeted and terrorized Latin American immigrants. She explores how a variety of forces have affected Latinos in the United States, including restrictive immigration legislation, large-scale immigration raids, and institutionalized racial and gender hierarchy. Assessing the Obama administration’s record on immigration, she states that America has become a security state that scrutinizes, harasses, and encumbers immigrants.
International Migration Review contributor Austin Kocher called the book “a comprehensive and relevant overview” of the history of U.S. immigration policy and also found it to be a compelling analysis of more recent developments, such as the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, the extension of executive authority after 9/11, and the reconfiguration of juridical and political boundaries between U.S. citizens and noncitizens. In a review in ProtoView, a contributor noted that Sampaio’s book “is informed by feminist theory and critical race scholarship dedicated to producing ‘theory in the flesh,’ with which to understand issues of race, class, and gender.”

First-generation Latina SampaioAEs work is informed by feminist theory and critical race scholarship dedicated to producing otheory in the flesho as a means of understanding particular configurations of race, class, and gender. As a witness to post-911 changes to federal, state, and local policies, and the resurgence of the state as a domestic and international security regime, she notes that, while language highlighting the racialization of immigrants as terrorist threats has abated, an active discourse focused on the criminality of immigrants has resurfaced. Seven chapters are: reconfiguring race and gender in the war on terrorism; masculinist protectionism, racialized demonization, and the formation of the contemporary security regime; racialization of Latinas/os within American immigration law and policy; securitizing immigration legislation; terrorizing immigrants: the return of large-scale raids and roundups and their impact on Latina/o communities; security and citizenship: oenemy combatantso and the cases of John Walker Lindh, Yaser Hamdi, and Jos<AEe> Padilla; the end of terror? a new administration and a new chapter in immigration politics.

Transnational Latina/o Communities: Politics, Processes, and Cultures. Edited by Carlos Velez-Ibanez and Anna Sampaio. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002. 306 pp. Notes, bibliography, and index. $26.95.
Transnational Latina/o Communities: Politics, Processes, and Cultures (TLC) is one of those rare anthologies in which every single essay stands on its own merits as peered-review articles. Co-edited by Carlos Velez-Ibanez and Anna Sampaio, the anthology offers a collection of articles particularly tailored for classroom use in introductory Latina/o Studies courses.
The first section of TLC, "Reconceptualizing Latina/o Studies and the Study of Latina/o Subjects," consists of articles that examine migration through the specific lens of social and material remittances, and the consequent networks of inter-dependence that develop from these transnational transactions. In this section, Anna Sampaio's article focuses on systems of transnational resistance that have inspired mobilization around various forms of social inequality in Chiapas, Mexico, and Denver, Colorado, alike. Suzanne Oboler problematizes the use of pan-Latino terms, by focusing on the social identities that fragment such pan-ethnic identifiers along class, gender, and nationality lines. Raymond Rocco develops an accessible discussion of post-modernism, and, drawing from his work in Latino communities in Los Angeles, advocates for an "oppositional" form of post-modern engagement of Latina/o identities.
The second section of the anthology, "Cultural Processes and Changing Forms of Ethnic Identity," includes articles that are centrally concerned with the various ways in which Latina/o populations negotiate localized, regional, and national scripts. In this section, the article by Pedro Caban considers the forced "Americanization" of Puerto Ricans in the earlier decades of the twentieth century, showing how United States government domination of Puerto Rico's public schools, for instance, contributed to the making of colonial subjects. Marta Cruz-Janzen engages in a critical self-reflection of the treatment of "Latinegras/os"--Black Latinas/os--both on the island of Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries and in the United States Latina/o communities. Olga Najera-Ramfrez examines the charreada, or Mexican rodeo, as a folkloric practice that has presented the possibility for constructing transnational communities in Sunol, California. Gina Perez focuses on the lives of Puerto Rican families in Chicago to examine how the "urban" and the "homeland" are imagined in deeply gendered terms.
The final section, "Transforming Work, Labor, Community, and Citizenship," includes articles that draw from ethnographic studies of global trade agreements, most notably NAFTA, in the everyday lives of Mexican workers and households on both side of the United States-Mexico border. Margaret Zamudio, for instance, examines the involvement of Latina/o workers participating in the Local 11 of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union. Patricia Zavella examines the "reterritorialization" of the food processing factories sector, and the reconfiguration of gender relations that result from such transnational economic processes. Juan Vicente Palerm aims to expand homogenizing images of agricultural farmworkers by identifying a variety of relationships to work and space among the predominantly Mexican workforce in the agricultural Santa Maria Valley. Finally, in a theoretically sophisticated piece, Raymond Rocco urges for the revision of mainstream understandings of citizenship to include the experience of cultural difference salient in Latina/o communities, and advocates for a systematic analysis of multiculturalism in the context of transnational formations.

What is perhaps perplexing about TLC is that, despite the outstanding quality of each article in the anthology, the volume suffers from a lack of genuine thematic anchoring that allows it to stand out from other such anthologies on Latinos in the United States. This weakness could have been adequately addressed in a more rigorous theoretical introduction. Although the individual essays tend to ameliorate the theoretical and thematic weaknesses of the Introduction (I am thinking specifically here of the two pieces by Raymond Rocco, but also most of the other articles), the anthology would have been stronger had the Introduction provided a discussion of globalization and transnationalism.
In any anthology, issues of selection and representativity can be tricky, and this anthology is no exception. TLC tends to privilege not only the experience of certain national groups (most notably Mexicans and, in a far away second, Puerto Ricans), but also specific regional experiences of communities in the "U.S. Southwest" and western region. The anthology inadvertently continues to reinscribe "Latino-ness" as a Mexican-Puerto Rican (but really mostly "Chicano") identity, by never fully engaging the experiences of Central American, Spanish-speaking Caribbean, and South American populations, and even of Mexican populations in the Northeastern or Midwestern United States. Perhaps this is due to a tacit conception of globalization mostly in connection to NAFTA and the United States- Mexico border. My criticism of this anthology, nevertheless, does not intend to undermine the high quality of each of the constituent articles, or the fact that portions of the volume could serve as useful pedagogical tools.

Anna Sampaio: Terrorizing Latina/o Immigrants, Thursday, May 12, 2016, 10:00-11:30am, Charles E. Merrill Lounge
October 27, 2015
By Adrián Félix, Assistant Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies
sampaio-terrorizing-immigrants
Immigration politics has been significantly altered by the advent of America’s war on terror and the proliferation of security measures. In Terrorizing Latina/o Immigrants: Race, Gender, and Immigration Politics in the Age of Security (Temple University Press, 2015), Anna Sampaio examines how these processes are racialized and gendered and how they impose inequitable burdens on Latina/o immigrants. Using intersectional analysis and theoretical and empirical approaches, she interrogates the rise of securitization, restrictive legislation, and the return of large-scale immigration raids, focusing on how these forces re-articulate and re-inscribe racial and gender hierarchies in the United States.
Anna Sampaio headshotAnna Sampaio, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of Ethnic Studies at Santa Clara University, is the co-editor (with Carlos Vélez-Ibáñez) of Transnational Latina/o Communities: Politics, Processes, Cultures (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002).
TERRORIZING LATINA/O IMMIGRANTS: RACE, GENDER, AND IMMIGRATION POLICY POST-9/11 SEARCH OUR PUBLICATIONS Austin Kocher of the Ohio State University reviews Terrorizing Latina/o Immigrants: Race, Gender, and Immigration Policy Post-9/11, by Anna Sampaio. The book is a comprehensive and relevant overview of the history of restrictive US immigration policies and the more recent securitization of immigration enforcement since the War on Terror. The author seizes upon changes in immigration law before 9/11 (such as the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act) as foreshadowing the unprecedented extension of executive authority post-9/11. This authority both depended upon and reconfigured the juridical and political boundaries between citizens and non-citizens, using the discourse of terrorist threat to justify violations of civil liberties and the rapid expansion of immigration enforcement projects throughout the United States.
