The book adopts a fresh perspective to explore patterns of settlement in Florida, including the outlying areas of Miami and beyond. The stellar contributors from Latin America and the United States address the challenges faced by Latino immigrants, their cultural and religious practices, as well as the strategies used, as they move into areas experiencing recent large-scale immigration Notes "This book is the product of a collaborative transnational research project that grew out of a workshop held at the University of Florida in 2001"--Page vii Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
