Abstract:

This presentation explores the intersection of gender, immigration and masculinities narratives in the context of the immigrant workplace. Demographic changes resulting from restructuring and deunionizing have given rise to a “brown collar” residential construction industry. Male immigrant workers develop their own masculinities narratives to explain their entry and assignment into non-unionized, segregated, occupations within the residential construction industry in Las Vegas. Interviews capture the ambivalence of immigrant workers as rights bearers in the workplace, and their sense of belonging, expressed through the forms in which they perform their identities and the ways in which they adopt hypermasculine behaviors.
