My research investigates the local-global dialectic in contemporary Chicanx communities in global Los Angeles, California. Through a focus on culture, labor, urban development, and logistics, I explore the transnational components of contemporary Chicanidad as it engages in complex transcultural exchanges with Asian Americans and broader Chinese international capital. The Global Latinidades Project has enabled me to develop this research by engaging scholars in local and national venues as well as international ones in Cuba and China. This research and international dialogue, I hope, will help us continue to gain ever more complex materialist understandings of Chicanidad in a global context.
