Over recent decades; the Southeast has become a new frontier for Latin American migration to and within the United States; and North Carolina has had one of the fastest growing Latino populations in the nation. Here; Hannah Gill offers North Carolinians from all walks of life a better understanding of their Latino neighbors; bringing light instead of heat to local and national debates on immigration. Exploring the larger social forces behind demographic shifts; Gill shows both how North Carolina communities are facing the challenges and opportunities presented by these changes and how migrants experience the economic and social realities of their new lives. Latinos are no longer just visitors to the state but are part of the inevitably changing; long-term makeup of its population. Today; emerging migrant communities and the integration of Latino populations remain salient issues as the U.S. Congress stands on the verge of formulating comprehensive immigration reform for the first time in nearly three decades. Gill makes connections between hometowns and the increasing globalization of people; money; technology; and culture by shedding light on the many diverse North Carolina residents who are highly visible yet; as she shows; invisible at the same time.

Very easy to read; good for history classBy zalo81I enjoyed reading this book (kindle version) since it was a required book for my upper-level college class. It gave me a better understand of the major decision-makers for the use of the atomic bomb. Whether you support Truman's decision or not; the impact on human history is undeniable. Read this book and make your choice on whether or not Truman needed to use atomic weapons on Japan; or if the war would have ended without the use of them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
