The purpose of the research presented the spatial
and demographic patterns of Mexican immigrants in
Itawamba and Tishomingo Counties of northeast
Mississippi. The migration patterns and migrant
demographics have not been previously investigated
in this region. Interviews in Spanish were given to
all willing Mexican migrant participants during the
summer of 2006. Source regions of the northeast
Mississippi migrants are substantially different
from the migrant populations elsewhere in the United
States as you will discover from reading this book.
A variety of demographic information and maps about
the Mexican migrants of northeast Mississippi are
presented within these pages. The results presented
demonstrate the importance of family networking in
drawing immigrants to this region and suggest
possible cultural shifts within the migrant
community.
