SUMMARY:Homesick: Race and Exclusion in Rural New England
DESCRIPTION:Emily Walton will facilitate a group discussion about her new 
 book\, Homesick: Race and Exclusion in Rural New England. Set in the Upper 
 Valley\, the book considers the recent racial demographic transition in an 
 area widely considered to be progressive. Her analysis of interviews with 
 highly educated\, professional migrants of color offers new insights into 
 the processes through which white residents harden social boundaries\, even 
 in situations of relative socioeconomic equality. Walton shows how white 
 residents keep a racial hierarchy in place through cultural processes of 
 misrecognition—a failure or unwillingness to see people of color as 
 legitimate\, welcome\, and valuable members of the community. The ultimate 
 impact of such misrecognition is often a profound sense of homesickness—a 
 deep longing for a place in which one can feel safe\, wanted\, and 
 accepted—among people of color. Those mental health consequences and the 
 misrecognition from which they stem are a problem not only for people of 
 color hoping to make a home\, but for the Upper Valley as a whole. As 
 outmigration\, high mortality\, and low fertility work together toward 
 rural population decline\, Walton offers several strategies that key actors 
 at different levels of the community—from civic and cultural leaders to 
 individual residents—can employ to integrate non-dominant narratives into 
 community life.\n\nFor a copy of Homesick\, click here to place a copy on

 College. Her research brings a racial lens and a mixed-methods toolkit to 
 bear on enduring questions in sociology’s health and community 
 subfields.\n\nJoin Meeting:
