At the Core and in the Margins Incorporation of Mexican Immigrants in Two Rural Midwestern

Informationen zum Autor Julia Albarracín is Dan and Laura Webb Professor of political science at Western Illinois University and received her PhD in political science from the University of Florida in 2004. Klappentext Based on 260 surveys and 47 in-depth interviews, this book explores the level and characteristics of the incorporation of Mexican immigrants in two small Illinois towns that have been transformed by immigration. Immigrants in new settlements are likely to be poorer, less educated, and to have weaker language skills than immigrants in traditional destinations. Studying how this population negotiates the obstacles to and opportunities for incorporation is crucial. Zusammenfassung Beardstown and Monmouth, Illinois, two rural Midwestern towns, have been transformed by immigration in the last three decades. This book examines how Mexican immigrants who have made these towns their homes have integrated legally, culturally, and institutionally.
