Monika Gosin challenges exclusionary arguments pitting these groups against one another and depicts instead the nuanced ways in which identities have been constructed, negotiated, rejected, and reclaimed in the context of Miami's historical multiethnic tensions.Focusing on ideas of 'legitimacy,' Gosin argues that dominant race-making ideologies of the white establishment regarding 'worthy citizenship' and national belonging shape inter-minority conflict as groups negotiate their precarious positioning within the nation.
