Annotation

The vernacular discussions of Latino/a and South Asian American bloggers in the context of the newly passed SB 1070 Arizona legislation, exemplify how their shared discrimination experiences (re)voice “brownness” as an intricate racial formation adjusted to “illegal” immigrant constructions, and how they challenge discourses racializing (their varied and distinct) brown identities.
