Natalia Molina is associate professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego. Her first book, Fit to be Citizens? Public Health and Race in Los Angeles, 1879-1939, explored ways in which race is constructed relationally and regionally. In that work, she argued that race must be understood comparatively. Her current book project, Racial Amnesia: The Search for a Usable Past, extends that argument to a different site, immigration. She investigates how Americans from various regions and disparate backgrounds went about creating and understanding racial categories during a period of peak immigration in the early twentieth century.
