Immigration and Ethnic Communities: A Focus on Latinos
1996
For over a decade, Latino immigrants, especially those of Mexican origin, have been at the heart of the immigration debate and have borne the brunt of conservative populism. Contributing factors to the public reaction to immigrants in general and Latinos specifically include the sheer size of recent immigration, the increasing prevalence of Latinos in the work force, and the geographic concentration of Latinos in certain areas of the country. Based on a conference held at the Julian Samora Institute (Michigan) in April 1995, this book is organized around two main themes. The first discusses patterns of immigration and describes several immigrant communities in the United States; the second looks in depth at immigration issues, including economic impacts, employment, and provision of education and other services to immigrants. Papers and commentaries are: (1) "Introductory Statement" (Steven J. Gold); (2) "Immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean: A Socioeconomic Profile" (Ruben G. Rumbaut); (3) "Discrimination and Conflict: Minority Status and the Latino Community in the United States" (Juan L. Gonzales Jr.); (4) "The Demography of Mexicans in the Midwest" (Rogelio Saenz); (5) "Historical Foundations of Latino Immigration and Community Formation in 20th Century Michigan and the Midwest" (Dennis Nodin Valdes); (6) "Islanders in the States: A Comparative Account" (Sherri Grasmuck, Ramon Grosfoguel); (7) "Emerging Latino Populations in Rural New York" (Enrique E. Figueroa); (8) "Immigration to the United States: Journey to an Uncertain Destination" (Philip Martin); (9) "Borders and Immigration:

We begin this course by examining the distinct migration histories of various Latina/o/x subgroups, why they migrate and how they are received. We will then focus on how Latinas/os/x and their descendants are incorporating into the United States’ core social structures. Throughout the course, we will consider the various ways that relations of class, race/ethnicity, gender, citizenship, and legal status intersect and affect Latinas/os/x’ access to opportunity and equality. Students are encouraged to create new knowledge through class discussions, web participation, and critical thinking and analysis.

Celebrating Mexican Culture and Lending a Helping Hand
Indiana Magazine of History, 2012
Scholarship about Latinos in the United States has generally focused on those geographic areas in which they have traditionally showed a greater concentration (the Southwest, New York, Florida). Relatively little work has been done on Latinos in the Midwest, in some of whose cities Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans have come together to forge socially cohesive and often politically powerful communities. This study seeks to recover part of the Midwest' s Latino heritage by examining primary sources that provide a vivid portrayal of the collective life of the Latino community of northwest Indiana during the first half of the twentieth century.
