ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses a very unique approach to the question of immigrant communities. It focuses on African American women brings home the question of exclusion in a most profound manner. The book also focuses on beyond simply participating in electoral politics in his analysis of how Mesoamerican immigrants have taken their own cultural and historical experiences and established themselves in their own created social and cultural space. It explores the same framework of decoloniality in a different but similar direction conceptualizes the status of urban poor and working class, citizen and non-citizen, in their right to live in their space, rented or bought, as "residentship". The book presents a very interesting cultural analysis of how the Asian community gained access to the democratic process even as they are still, in a sense, kept at bay.
