Chapter 13: Your Turn Fieldwork

Who are today's Migrants?

Introduction:

My name is Janae Vincent and in this fieldwork, we are getting perspectives of migrants. I've decided to interview my mentor and former teacher, Charissa Pretto-Huie. I have received full consent to conduct this interview.

Interview information:

Childhood Life

Charissa was born in San Fransisco to Rogelio Pretto and Judy Von Tress when they were 19 years old. Charissa's father is from Colon, Panama. Her mother is from Her parents temporarily stayed in the United States after she was born for about a year or two until her father's father passed away and left his business to his son to run it in Panama. She was raised in Colon, Panama. Seeing that the United States had territory in Panama, she attended American schools there. Charissa there learned how to speak English. She had to have a divide between her American school life and her Panamanian home life. Charissa described the Panamanian life as beautiful at times but she knew that she couldn’t stay there forever because there wasn’t much resources to further your education after high school in Panama. Charissa knew that this was not somewhere she could stay long.

Push and Pull Factors: Leaving Panama

Charissa had to make the decision to leave Panama after high school was over. There were no colleges in Panama. She knew people who left Panama but then came back but she said that if she were to come back to Panama with a degree, she wouldn’t be able to obtain an efficient job. She had always had the dream of attending college. She did not want to live in the same place that she grew up in so she also dreamed of living in the US. When she graduated, her graduating class was approximately 50 students. After high school, she went to a community college in Panama. She then went to the University of South Florida and entered there as a sophomore. Charissa there met her future husband. Charissa's mother was forced to move to the states as that is where her job in Panama was moving to. So, seeing that Charissa wanted a much better future than she knew what she could be given to her in Panama, she knew she had no choice but to move back to the U.S.

Bridges and Barriers:

Since Charissa was technically a U.S. citizen, she didn’t have to encounter the same conflicts as other immigrants with obtaining a visa and more. She also deems herself “privileged” in away because she luckily knew the American culture and language because of the American schools that she went to in Panama.

Charissa's Words:

"I came to America like any other immigrant. The only reason is because of opportunity. Like for example, imagine if you were living in Baltimore, you went to high school in Baltimore, but there were no universities, there were no community colleges, there was nothing for you to pursue a life after your high school years. That's how living in a country, let alone Panama, anywhere, any kind of immigrant sees it. Like I could have gone to the University of Panama City but that would have gotten me a job in Panama and it's not a great education. I knew that it wouldn't be a great education and I knew that it wouldn't get me a great job so I knew that I had to get out. So the bottom line is that an immigrant's attitude of why they come to America, it might sound cliche but it is for the opportunity. You know you have the opportunity to do anything you want here in the United States."

Charissa's Impact:

When I began my senior year of high school, I was completely lost and had no clue where I wanted to go with my life. That was until I walked into the office of Charissa Pretto-Huie and my whole perspective was changed. I used to not have the intention to go to college because I thought school was not for me. But, I was looked into and guided by this woman by who I was first intimidated. As time passed, I began learning more about Charissa and was introduced to her culture. She would tell me and my peers about her experiences and bring foods of her culture for our class. Charissa would give consistent words of advice to me especially when I was going through my darkest times. I can tell at times that there are still certain aspects of our culture that Charissa doesn’t understand. But, being around her has forced me to learn a new culture and the languages of that culture which is something I have always wanted. Charissa wanted to give students the opportunity at an amazing head start in life which was something that she didn’t see in Panama. That’s what she gave to me and my peers and I wouldn’t change that experience for the world.

Chapter 9: Your turn fieldwork

Discoveries

While creating my kinship tree, it forced me to actually break down each family member as I know it. Typically I had always just seen my cousins as my cousins but I never saw them as my first or second cousins because I never thought to break it down that way. This also made me notice a trend within my mother's side of the family. A thing that I noticed was that marriage was not something that typically occurred. They really didn't believe in marriage but they strongly believed in family. I don't have much family on my dad's side. I noticed that my grandmother's children have been married on my dad's side of the family. Each of them has also only had one child whether adopted or biological. I also noticed that my grandmother on my father's side didn't believe in marriage. This was actually shocking to me as I had always believed that during her era, marriage was something that was highly valued. I also discovered that my mother didn't believe in the idea of marriage prior to meeting my father. This was because my grandmother had always raised my mom and her siblings with the idea that they should be independent. It seems that the same idea of marriage has been passed down as a lot of my cousins are not married either nor intend on getting married. I believe in breaking generational curses so I do not and will not carry the same mindset.

CHAPTER 6 YOUR TURN FIELDWORK

What Is the Relationship of Ethnicity to the Nation?

In this fieldwork, I discovered a lot about my family and it’s origins. With the help of a few family members I was able to obtain as much information that they knew.

Where is my family from?

I was born in Towson, MD to my dad Vince and mom Glauda. My dad is from Richmond, VA. My mother is from Washington, DC. On my mom’s side of the family my grandfather’s father was African. My grandmother’s parents were partially Native Americans. My grandmother and her siblings were born and raised in Washington, DC. On my dad’s side of the family, the majority is from North and South Carolina. My great great grandparents, Mariah and Bip are 90% Native American.

How long has my family lived here?

My family on my mom’s side has lived here since approximately 1910. They more so got here when my great grandfather did which is around that time. When my great grandfather came to America, he changed his name to Joe Brown in order to obtain better job opportunities. My family on my dad’s side has lived here since the 1900s.

Has my family embraced American Nationalism?

I have come to believe that my family has fully adapted to American Nationalism but I will say that I do not believe that they are fully accepting of some of its flaws. My family has consistently made sure to expose me and my other family members to the stories of our past ancestors as well as customs and traditions that have been passed down. My grandfather that was married into our family was a veteran so he would inform us about the recipes

CHAPTER 5 FIELDWORK

Jim Crow Laws:

Jim Crow laws were made to legally apply segregation after the Civil War had ended. The laws kept a form of control over black people, limiting their goods, services, and opportunities. The first image displayed here depicts an African American who is looking at a sign for a job opportunity that applies to only whites. This displays an example of how many opportunities were taken away from African Americans all because of their skin color. This image relates to Jim Crow because it shows how much control and discrimination the laws enforced. This image depicts a family looking up at a sign during the Jim Crow era. This image shows how the system separated the blacks from the whites. African Americans were subject to poorer quality conditions within the goods and services that they were segregated from. The Jim Crow era made it completely difficult for blacks to maintain a lifestyle.

White Supremacy:

The image included in this portion is of the January 6th insurrection. This image represents white supremacy because it gives an example of what white supremacy looks like in full effect. White supremacy is practically a group that thinks they are superior. In this particular setting, there was a group of white supremacists who tried to stop the count of a political election and invoked an attack on the US Capitol. Members of the attack walked around holding confederate flags and yelled racial slurs through the halls of the Capitol. Not only did they do that, they threw nooses around the Capitol. Insurrectionists committed acts of their white power because they weren’t happy that their president who supported their ideology, did not win the election.

Miscegenation:

This tiktok about miscegenation gives insight about how interracial couples were strictly prohibited in Kentucky. Miscegenation is when two different races come together particularly as a relationship. Black people were to be fined or arrested for marrying and residing with a white person. Even after the Supreme Court abolished the laws, Kentucky kept the laws around until 1974. Around the time of Miscegenation laws, segregation was still in full effect which made the interlocking of two different races, completely unlawful.

Racial Ideology:

Racial ideology is when there is a set of ideas that are discriminatory, are enacted upon a targeted group of people. This is an image of the Ku Klux Klan also known as the KKK. The KKK is a group that targets colored, specifically African American people. The KKK is one of the oldest hate groups to exist. The KKK represents the topic of racial ideology because of their widely known feelings towards African Americans. The KKK has consistently committed violent attacks against African Americans. A lot of members of the KKK are typically born into the mindset of having hatred toward black people. If they aren't born into it, then racial ideology is what is usually in their environment.

Racism:

The video featured here is of the closing argument that Atticus Finch delivers in the movie, "To Kill A Mockingbird". In the film, Atticus Finch is a lawyer that is defending a poor black man named Tom Robinson. Tom was on trial for facing accusations of raping a white girl named Mayella Ewell. Finch continuously made valid points in the trial that Robinson could not be the attacker of this crime with one of the reasons being that Robinson was ineligible to use his left hand. Ewell was struck by an attacker using their left hand. Atticus Finch delivers a closing statement that practically said that the state has not collected one piece of medical evidence that proves that Tom Robinson is the attacker. Finch also makes the implication that this case only went to trial because Robinson is a black man. Finch asked the jury to not make their decision based off of race but on what is right. Robinson was then found guilty of raping and attacking Ewell. On the way to prison, Robinson was killed for attempting to escape. This film depicts racism because the jury was clearly given enough evidence that proved that Robinson was not the attacker. The film represents racism because a white jury saw that a young strong black man had attacked a white girl and they automatically assumed he was the cause of this crime.

Institutional Racism:

The video featured in this section is a short documentary about the Little Rock Nine. The documentary explains the story of the Little Rock Nine who were brutally mistreated because they were a group of black students that attended a white institution during the time of the Jim Crow laws. When this occurred, obviously white citizens were livid. But, the school system definitely was not in support of this happening either.

Fieldwork: College Students and Consumer Culture

In the process of learning about myself in a new light, I discovered that I feel the need to have to keep up with the latest trends and aesthetics. But I also discovered that some of these trends are what make me feel comfortable in my own environment. I try to keep things simple in my own space. Nothing too extravagant or over the top. Even though I sometimes keep things simple, it can still be very costly. Everything that I put my currency into, are things that compliment me. Not everything that I have may seem like a necessity to anyone else, but it is likely to be a necessity to me. I think I can overspend a lot of the time though on things that I am well aware are not necessary.

Fieldwork: Making New Era Fitted Hats Unfamiliar

History of Fitted Hats:

Ehrhardt Koch was a German Immigrant who founded the company, E. Koch Cap Co. in 1920. The company had a total of 14 employees when it first began. Two years later, the company’s name was changed to New Era Cap Company. In 1932, Harold Koch joined his father in the business of selling caps. Harold noticed the demand for the caps starting to decline. New Era then began to design the baseball cap as baseball started to gain even more popularity. In 1934, the first New Era professional baseball cap was released for the uniforms of the Cleveland Indians. Even though New Era was still producing baseball caps for the majority of baseball teams, times hit hard in the 1940s. World War II made fabric limited. The fabrics used during this time were dyed in the washing machine at home.

In the later 1940s, New Era released their adjustable hat as well. In the 1950s, the company was supplying caps to big league teams. The hat was redesigned in 1954 and was named "59Fifty". In the 60s, Harold opened a manufacturing facility in Derby, New York which was closer to the family's home. In 1972, Harold's son David became the company's president. A few years after that, David's son began working in the Derby manufacturing plant. In the 1980s the company began to sell the caps to the general public and produced them for college sports and International Baseball leagues. After the 1993 MLB season, New Era beat out their final competitor and was granted exclusive licensing. Every baseball team in the MLB was then supplied with New Era caps for their uniforms.

During the 1990s, New Era was not only a hit on the field, but it also was a hit in the fashion streets. Wearing the cap became a fashion statement. In the 2000s, New Era expanded by opening up offices in Europe, Japan, and Australia within two years. New Era then decided to take things a step further and expand their brand to produce caps of the three largest leagues in the nation. New Era produced the official hats of the NFL in 2012 and the official hats of the NBA in 2016. To this day, New Era is still one of the largest fitted hat-producing companies. Even expanding its services to create custom hats. The hats are still a high fashion staple and continue to remain relevant to this day.

Manufacturing of the New Era Fitted Hat

New Era originally manufactured its caps in Derby, New York. In 2019, after New Era shut down its manufacturing facility in Derby, New York, the company switched to a third-party manufacturer overseas. The caps worn by Major League players are made at New Era’s plant located in Miami. Most of the New Era caps are manufactured in Bangladesh, Vietnam, Haiti, and China. Until the 1990s, the cap was made out of 100% wool. Since then, the cap is made out of polyester that includes UV sun protection, a comfortable fit, and sweat-wicking. The change in material and performance did not change the iconic look of the hat though. The inside of the hat contains a white stiff haircloth. The haircloth is made out of horsehair which helps the cap maintain its shape. When the hats were manufactured in Derby, it was made through a 22-step process. The process starts off with cutting, assembling, and sewing the fabric panels together that forms the cap. Then is a raised embroidery process with precise stitch counts. It finishes off with the addition of the button that goes on top of the hat. The button is applied by a hand-operated machine. After this process is the steaming and cooling process that gives the cap its shape. Before packaging is sold to customers, a black and gold sticker is added with the sizes on them in order to guide customers to try on their respective-sized hats. The hats do not come with a black and gold sticker when they are for MLB players as they come in boxes with a specific size.

Impact New Era Fitted Hats have on me

Growing up, I always had to have some form of hair accessory on. As I got older, I began to outgrow the certain hair accessories that I was consistently put in as a child. So, I began to gravitate towards what my true style was. I was always a tomboy growing up. When I hung out with friends, I’d sneakily switch the pink bows and headbands that I was in for the baseball caps that my brother had. During my first year of high school, I felt like I needed a hat for everything. It made my mother upset which is why I tried to hide it so much. But as time went on, I began to embrace who I really was and began to find my own style. I gained this desire to have fitted hats. I loved how they looked on me or how they went with a particular outfit of mine. Wearing a hat made me lessen my physical insecurities and forced me to be more comfortable with myself.

Who manufactures New Era Fitted Hats?

When New Era announced that it would be shutting down its Derby plant, it would be eliminating the 219 jobs that it carries and moving them to a non-union contracted facility located in Miami. New Era then announced an agreement after the company was called out for the closure of the facility. New Era had reached a "plant closing agreement" with the CWA. This agreement included severance benefits for the former Derby employees. Former employees of the Miami location have said that the work environment could be toxic at times but it did have great benefits. It has also been said that the management is bad in the Miami manufacturing facility. Some cons of working there have been stated as "occasional layoffs" and lack of leadership.

Key Dynamics of Globalization

Increasing Migration

This photo represents increasing migration because it exemplifies the accelerated movement of migrants.

Flexible Accumulation

This photo represents flexible accumulation because offshoring and outsourcing are practices of flexible accumulation. They use this practice for lower costs.
