Analyses have yet to be done on this group, but it may be that this fast-growing group represents either those who have parents from more than one country, or, those who consider themselves “Hispanic-Latino,” but do not identify with a particular country. The festival was observed and reported on by the -Latino Immigrants-. The project faculty participated in the festival and conducted extensive interviews and conversations with a broad cross-section of residents and participants visiting from the United States.
The increasing proportion of Latinos and blacks occurred as absolute numbers of meat-processing workers were increasing, which suggests that the two groups may have been competing for the same low-skilled jobs. In addition, because CPS data historically undercount foreign-born persons who are reluctant to answer government surveys, the Latino component of the workforce shown in Figure 1 is most likely a conservative estimate. Latino Workers in the Contemporary South describes issues these immigrants and refugees face, particularly regarding work, and also offers accounts of the impact of Latinos on their employers and communities at large. Though its discussions span a variety of regions, the book focuses, in particular, on areas of Georgia and Florida where booming Hispanic populations have had considerable influence in recent years.
Growth in Latino employment in the lowest wage class (57 percent) was well below average. Arrests for violent crimes were highest in high growth Latino counties, but declined faster during the decade than arrest rates in traditional Latino counties or in counties that experienced no growth in Latino population. There were tremendous increases in drug arrests across the board but the high Latino immigration counties showed the lowest rates of increase.
The United States receives more legal immigrants than any other country in the world; additionally, 16 percent of the American population traditionally migrates within the nation. Because of all of the movement within the United States, as well as the explosive growth of the Latino population, Latino settlement in the United States has recently expanded beyond traditionally highly concentrated states and districts, and Latino-specific preferences have traveled with them. Specifically, it will be concerned with “race” as a central category in the medical construction and management of individuals and populations. Case studies might focus on colonial medicine, race and public health, sexuality and reproduction, global health disparities, and genetics and genomics. Although Derry (with 1.9 percent of its population identifying itself as Hispanic or Latino) has not seen large numbers of minority residents, Needham said the personnel training was worthwhile.
