Angela Stuesse is a cultural anthropologist broadly interested in social inequality in the Americas and specializing in methodologies of activist research. Her scholarship focuses on globalization, migration and citizenship, race and racism, labor, and policing in the US and Latin America. Much of her work, including her award-winning book, Scratching Out a Living, has explored how new Latinx migration to the US South has shaped and been shaped by the region’s racial hierarchies. She also investigates the intensification of immigrant policing and the experiences of undocumented young people in higher education.
