Boyle -- Conclusion: lessons of the nueva frontera.The Dalton-Whitfeld County area of Georgia has one of the highest concentrations of Latino residents in the southeastern United States. In 2006, a Washington Post article referred to the carpet-manufacturing city of Dalton as a "U.S. border town," even though the community lies more than twelve hundred miles from Mexico. Voices from the Nueva Frontera explores this phenomenon, providing an in-depth picture of Latino immigration and dispersal in rural America along with a framework for understanding the economic integration of the South with Latin America.VoicesHispanic AmericansCivilizationImmigrantsGeorgiaDalton (Whitfield County)Social conditionsLatin AmericansGeorgiaDalton (Whitfield County)Hispanic AmericansCivilization.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.Latin Americans304.8089/680758324Davis Donald Edward1510987MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791677303321Voices from the nueva frontera3827491UNINA
