Description: New Immigrant Whiteness : Race, Neoliberalism, and Post-Soviet Migration to the United States, Paperback by Sadowski-Smith, Claudia, ISBN 1479806714, ISBN-13 9781479806713, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US This book explores representations of post-1980s migration from the former Soviet Union and successor nations to the US in television shows, memoirs, fiction, and interviews and the emergence of representations that associate the post-Soviet diaspora with ideas of a pan-European whiteness and characterize immigrants as successors of European immigrants at the turn of the 20th century who were incorporated into whiteness in the 1940s. It analyzes migration from the former Soviet Union, post-USSR immigrants’ attitudes toward immigrants from Mexico and Central America, and parallels between post-USSR and Asian immigrants, while focusing on the importance of the perceived whiteness of post-Soviet migrants, legal status on arrival, and racialization and educational achievements for immigration adaptation and transnationalism. Chapters discuss various forms of migration, examining the reality TV shows Russian Dolls and Dancing with the Stars; the experiences of highly skilled and marriage migrants, based on interviews; US parental memoirs of adoption from Russia and Ukraine in the 1990s and early 2000s, focusing on Margaret L. Schwartz’s The Pumpkin Patch, Theresa Reid’s Two Little Girls, and Brooks Hansen’s The Brotherhood of Joseph, to illustrate the role of race in adoptions; Sana Krasikov’s short story collection One More Year and Anya Ulinich’s novel Petropolis and representations of irregular and unauthorized migration; and Gary Shteyngart’s novel Super Sad True Love Story and interviews with immigrants, to illustrate post-Soviet migrants’ attitudes towards other migrants.
