They argue that current definitions of resilience need to be redefined and reconceptualised, particularly in settings dominated by White middle-class voices that define what ‘positive emotions’, ‘successful traits’ and ‘coping mechanisms’ entail. Here, through racism and flawed perceptions and interpretations of resilience and ‘othering’, members from ethnic minority communities are defined as in need of resilience support, whilst at the same time their experience of structural racism, e.g., in relation to mental health support, social/health care practices and school exclusions, is being erased. Instead, the authors argue that resilience can also mean ‘resistance’, i.e., resisting bad treatment and racism, as well as reflecting agency, identity and ownership of one’s own life and choices within this. Reframing resilience thus means taking account of multifaceted and interactive effects of personal, material, institutional and political factors that impact on behaviour, wellbeing and resilience, as well as acknowledging that the way in which ‘behaviour’ is received is by default flawed, if this is largely informed by an oppressive White middle-class viewpoint.","PeriodicalId":47028,"journal":{"name":"Race & Class","volume":"64 1","pages":"84 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48891140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anthropologist Sarah Luna contends with this deeply ingrained imaginary through centring on the ostensible antithesis of violence: love and intimacy. Love in the Drug War is embedded within the cement-walled compound of the regulated prostitution zone, la zona, colloquially referred to as Boystown by Americans, in the border-city of Reynosa, Mexico. But to think of it as an enclosed, bounded entity would be erroneous, for its walls are porous. With varying degrees of difficulty, two of the three ‘protagonists’ – sex-workers from rural Mexico, on the one hand, and American missionaries, on the other – move through la zona’s walls and coexist. We discover that these two protagonists, in addition to another, are partly entangled in a three-way relationship, and the nature of this polyamorous configuration inspires and forms the core of Luna’s research enquiry. The presence of the third protagonist, God, also extends far beyond the walls of la zona, and the relationship between sex workers, missionaries and God is kept for the final part of the book. Luna devotes twelve months in 2008–2009 to ethnographic fieldwork in this unique ecosystem, teeming with the lives of our three leading characters as well as pimps, drug workers and the everyday inhabitants of la zona. As part of her anthropological approach, Luna, whose mixed Mexican-American and White heritage allow her to roam with sex workers and missionaries with relative ease, develops close relationships with both parties and engages in their quotidian 1087123 RAC0010.1177/03063968221087123Race & ClassBook Reviews research-article2022","PeriodicalId":47028,"journal":{"name":"Race & Class","volume":"63 1","pages":"118 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43515328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
