Agricultural communities progressively have become sites of struggle over identity, belonging and citizenship. While historically the relationship between race and space has been one of segregation and displacement, explorations of these sites of (im)migration disclose new discursive relationships and particular manifestations of whiteness. Adopting a spatial framework, this ethnographic study tries to de-essentialize whiteneness via an examination of discourses of contraction articulated by members of a farm community. Contraction refers to white residents’ representation of “Hispanicness” as spreading throughout (and threatening) “their” town, specifically commercial and educational spaces. The implications of contraction cover the re-consolidation of white privilege as the “minority” group within a context of spatial integration.
