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.
