Abstract:

In 2003, the Latino population, mostly Mexican, in North Carolina numbers around half a million. A common question is whether these individuals will assimilate into American culture or become part of a disenfranchised minority. Palico discusses emerging trends in the Latino population - demographics, economic development, and social and political organization -- to answer this question.
