| Abstract: | Engaging and investigating the cultural production and practice of social groups and organizations that make claims of collective knowledge, democratic values, and social memories around the coordinates of difference, diversity, and representation are consistent with an expansion of postmodern scholarship on public pedagogies and citizen participation. These social groups and organizations often negotiate, carve out, and rework cultural spaces that create and sustain ritual performances of community and identity. This article is an ethnographic exploration of one such organization, which in light of recent and increasing demographic and socioeconomic shifts of Latino immigrants fleeing to resettle in the American South, has organized an annual Latin American festival. The researcher-author traces and interrogates not only the cultural images and knowledge produced by the organization in the process of planning and performing the Latin American festival, but also the complexity, dilemmas, and complicity that arise in subsequent ethnographic portrayal and academic text-making practice. |
