Abstract
ABSTRACT This article challenges previous deficit narratives on Latinx communities by centering childhood re-memories of Latinxs and complicating our understanding of their childhood experiences in historically disinvested communities. Drawing on in-depth interviews and fieldnotes, we examined how Latinx participants recounted the impact that everyday racism, violence, patriarchy, and gentrification had on their childhoods, their neighborhoods, and their families. Although their re-memories were at least a decade old, they vividly remembered ambivalent and contradictory re-memories entre la casa y la calle. Through these re-memories, Latinx participants mapped the competing systems that shaped their experiences and how they impacted their communities. We conclude this article by exploring the resistance strategies that Latinxs deployed to negotiate these spatialities and their place in them.
