Les jeunes immigrés latino-américains de Nashville, dans le Tennessee, qui sont sur le point d’être les premiers de leur famille à atteindre la classe moyenne, aspirent à un avenir cosmopolite fait de travail professionnel et de revenus disponibles. Cette mobilité sociale et économique est imaginée en relation avec la racialisation et la stigmatisation des Latino-américains en tant qu’ouvriers exclusifs de la classe ouvrière et en tant qu’objets d’un regard cosmopolite blanc et sudiste. À travers leurs aspirations, les jeunes remettent en question les régimes de travail, de consommation et de différence, à l’échelle locale et mondiale. En ce qui concerne le travail, les jeunes cherchent à remodeler le monde professionnel blanc en fonction de leur expérience latino- américaine. Cela leur permet de revendiquer la valeur du travail latino- américain. Ils cherchent également à s’engager dans des formes spécifiques d’accumulation matérielle qui, tout en menant à des vies matériellement plus confortables pour les individus, rendent également leur valeur visible aux yeux des autres. Enfin, la vision qu’ont les jeunes d’un avenir défini par leur capacité à traverser les cultures et les frontières repositionne leur différence ethno- raciale et linguistique comme un atout plutôt que comme un handicap. En outre, cette orientation mondiale réoriente le cosmopolitisme, qui n’est plus exclusivement blanc et réservé à l’élite. Collectivement, ces imaginations révèlent que si les aspirations de la classe moyenne peuvent renforcer la distinction de classe selon la couleur, elles peuvent aussi remodeler les hiérarchies racialisées existantes de la classe, de la mobilité et du cosmopolitisme.
