Under the theme “Latinos/as/xs and Human Geographies: (In)visible Borders and Their Spaces of Power,” the meeting aims to reflect on the processes of construction and legitimization of racialized spaces that influence the relationship between Latin American, Caribbean, and Indigenous migrants and their descendants in US society.
