Dr. Jennifer A. Jones Co-Authors Article, “Cultural Effects of Social Movements: Racial Formation and the Immigrants Rights Struggle in the Deep South.”
Dr. Jennifer A. Jones co-authors article with Dr. Hana E. Brown, "Cultural Effects of Social Movements: Racial Formation and the Immigrants Rights Struggle in the Deep South," in Mobilization: An International Quarterly. In this article, Drs. Brown and Jones use a comparative analysis of immigrants rights movements in Mississippi and Alabama to examine racial formation as a cultural consequence of mobilization. Drawing on archival, media, and interview data, the researchers demonstrate that the Mississippi movement fueled shifts in public racial discourse beyond the movement itself, however, the Alabama movement engendered no such changes.
