In this presentation, Professor Ramos-Zayas will examine the parenting practices and subjectivities of the Brazilian and Puerto Rican upper classes, as they alter urban landscapes; provide moral justifications for segregation, surveillance, and foreign interventions; and recast idioms of crisis, corruption, and austerity according to the dictums of US empire. My comparative ethnography focuses on the everyday experiences of whiteness, privilege, and inequality as they become entrenched in child-centered sociabilities.
