• W768615110 abstract "Therapists: Race, Affect, and Neoliberal Personhood in Latino Newark By Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2012 ISBN: 978-0-226-70362-6 464 pages; $30.00 [paper]As one delves into the pages of Therapists, Race, Affect, and Neoliberal Personhood in Latino Newark, Ana Yolanda Ramos-Zayas poignantly demonstrates how neoliberalism is worked and reworked through the body and the social landscape of Newark, New Jersey, by unpacking tropes, ideologies, sentiments, and practices. The corporeal, sensorial, and emotive subject, Ramos-Zayas argues, is raced via a host of maneuvers and outmaneuvers that manage to render race as invisible and hypervisible in contemporary discourse and practice. She notes, Street are not mere observers, but are effectively engaged in tacit and explicit social knowledge that constitutes the multiple relations in which they become involved; as they gradually master these practices, and perhaps become practitioners themselves, their legitimacy and competency in urban spaces increase (p. 8). By examining the salience of racialized cartographies from the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean in this urban context, she demonstrates how elusiveness allows for the perpetuation of social inequalities that are construed by street therapists as a product of the cultural and emotional deficiencies of Others as opposed to broader structural forces that impinge upon their well-being, even while they are attune to these social complexities. As such, this is a model for the study and interpretation of the specificity of US-Latino and varied Latin American immigrant experiences.Scholars of the African American, Luso-Brazilian, Portuguese, and Puerto Rican in the U.S. or of gender and sexuality studies might be tempted to focus on those chapters that expand upon these citizen-subjects. However, the reader would miss Ramos-Zayas' astute observations and analyses of intertwined lives in Newark's cityscape. These observations encompass residents of the past as well as those who are nostalgically imagined and absent but are referenced in self-making. They are also part and parcel of the (re)making of Newark's history and provide fodder for the structural changes occurring in this neoliberal city. Ramos-Zayas's structural analyses and social relational perspective, in short, allows us to better understand how valuations that emerge are embodied, put into practice, and cemented into the urban social landscape.The book encompasses a sophisticated theoretical introduction on affect, practice, and the production of affective knowledge. A US-based cartography of racial democracy is also introduced to critically demonstrate how emotions are deployed and aligned with the neoliberal state. Six ethnographically rich chapters follow this introduction. The author teases out broader social, political, and economic contexts via a series of encounters and episodes. We are drawn in as the events therein unfold. They evoke sentiment and reflection precisely because they are interpreted and analyzed by the anthropologist and her interlocutors. Ramos-Zayas then makes final remarks and reflections whereby individuals engage in and challenge the affective labor that contributes to the making and dismantling neoliberal personhood, con presencia, a como de lugar.Ramos-Zayas exposes the logic that (re)produces learning and the subordination of subjects via the keen deployment of values around sentiment, respectability, and comportment. Several cultural locales are traversed throughout the ethnography, revealing the insidious ways by which neoliberal personhood is rendered not only meaningful, but for some, desirable. Among the many salient moments throughout the work that haunted me was the experience of an African American customer in a beauty salon, located in the Ironbound section of Newark, who expressed dissatisfaction over the service she received. …" @default.
