Description for New Destination Dreaming
Hardback. New Destination Dreaming examines how the rural South, as a "new destination" far from the traditional American immigrant urban gateways, affects Hispanic newcomers' patterns of economic, sociocultural, and political incorporation. Num Pages: 392 pages, Illustrations, maps. BIC Classification: 1KBBS; JFFN; JFSL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 5817 x 3887 x 25. Weight in Grams: 658.

Couple this demographic change with an increase in unauthorized immigrants, and the rural South, once perhaps the most culturally and racially "settled" part of the country, now offers a window into the changing dynamics of immigration and, more generally, the changing face of America.

"Immigration has come to small town America, and in New Destination Dreaming Helen Marrow offers a penetrating look at how Latino immigrants are faring in two rural southern counties. Drawing on rich observations and detailed interviews, she chronicles the efforts of hard-working migrants of humble origins and tenuous legal status to survive and even prosper in a foreign land while ...
