What kinds of tales do ethnoracial others in the contemporary US tell? Why are they and their stories significant? These questions drive no insignificant amount of scholarship (and artistry and critical thought) among and about people of color. From the perspective of Critical Race studies, a cluster of work in the last decade by scholars like Cristina Beltr an, Arlene D avila, Lisa Cacho, Roderick Ferguson, and Grace Kyungwon Hong considers how racialized subjectivities are managed and configured within the parameters of neoliberal social policies. These scholars help develop a particular story about racial subjectivity both hopeful and threatening. In it, social precarity represents a persistent horizon of menace for the ethnoracial other in US society. From this vulnerable condition, racial subjectivities emerge that either occupy a position of social abjection or become subject to racial containment. Additionally, these conditions occur at a moment of explosive globalization; so the management of racial subjectivity takes place as neoliberal policies come to influence and shape wider-ranging geographies and cultures around the world. In this context, three recent studies contribute to interdisciplinary conversations about racial affiliation, economic aspiration, and the politically resistant function of stories. Elda Mar ıa Rom an’s Race and Upward Mobility: Seeking, Gatekeeping, and Other Class Strategies in Postwar America (2017), Christopher Gonz alez’s Permissible Narratives: The Promise of Latino/a Literature (2017), and Theresa V. Longo’s Visible Dissent: Latin American Writers, Small U.S. Presses, and Progressive Social Change (2018) meditate on the significance of narratives by and about racial subjects and exiled radicals. Their studies engage cultural representations of people struggling to negotiate the precarious terrain of modern life, be it engaging complex negotiations between racial and class affiliations, challenging social expectations for

异议和流动性的守门人故事

当代美国的种族其他人会讲述什么样的故事？为什么他们和他们的故事很重要？这些问题推动了有色人种之间和关于有色人种的大量学术（以及艺术性和批判性思想）。从批判种族研究的角度来看，Cristina Beltr an、Arlene Davila、Lisa Cacho、Roderick Ferguson 和 Grace Kyungwon Hong 等学者在过去十年中的一系列工作考虑了如何在新自由主义的参数范围内管理和配置种族化的主观性社会政策。这些学者帮助开发了一个关于种族主观性的特定故事，既有希望又有威胁。在其中，社会不稳定代表了对美国社会中种族他人的持续威胁。从这种脆弱的状态，种族主观性出现，要么处于社会屈辱的地位，要么受到种族遏制。此外，这些情况发生在爆炸性全球化的时刻；因此，随着新自由主义政策开始影响和塑造世界各地更广泛的地理和文化，种族主观性的管理就发生了。在此背景下，最近的三项研究促进了关于种族归属、经济抱负和故事的政治抵制功能的跨学科对话。Elda Mar ıa Rom an 的种族和向上流动：战后美国的寻求、守门和其他阶级战略（2017 年）、克里斯托弗·冈茨·阿莱兹的许可叙事：拉丁裔/文学的承诺（2017 年）和特蕾莎 V. 隆戈的可见异议：拉丁美洲作家，美国小型出版社，和 Progressive Social Change (2018) 思考了种族主体和流亡激进分子的叙事的重要性。他们的研究涉及人们努力在现代生活的不稳定地带进行谈判的文化表征，无论是在种族和阶级从属关系之间进行复杂的谈判，还是挑战社会期望
