All are at UNC-CH. Historically, whites, blacks, and Native Americans have constituted a numerical majority of the population of North Carolina and the South generally. In recent years, however, population growth driven by immigration has dramatically transformed the racial and ethnic composition of the state and the region. Over the past two decades, newcomers to the state and the region have included substantial numbers of people who either were born in, or are offspring or descendants of people who were born in, Mexico, another Latin American country, or Southeast Asia. Between the two demographic groups represented by the newcomers, Hispanics constitute the larger and therefore the more visible one. In this article we provide a general overview of the size and the composition of North Carolina’s Hispanic newcomers, describe their settlement patterns, and assess the response of other North Carolinians to the influx. We conclude by discussing several issues that must be addressed if the state is to avoid some of the tensions and the conflicts that have accompanied the settlement of Hispanics in communities like Los Angeles that have traditionally been gateways for immigrants.

7. "The New Geography" By Joel Kotkin more in absolute numbers than AfricanAmericans in north carolina. in the tech-richPiedmont, communities like Charlotte in many other Southern cities such as http://www.newgeography.com/WSJ-Reis2.htm

WSJ.Com Real Estate Journal Immigration Spreads Throughout Nation By J OEL K OTKIN J ames Johnson was born in the rural south, in the tiny hamlet of Falkland, N.C., and grew up in a society sharply divided between black and white, much as it had been since well before the Civil War. "The only time we saw someone who was not black or white," the University of North Carolina business professor recalls, "was on TV or occasionally during the summer in the fields." Today Johnson, also a scholar at the Kenan Institute in Chapel Hill University, sees the emergence of a very different North Carolina - a state that is becoming one of the fastest growing immigrant hubs in the country. Drawn by the region's buoyant economy, new immigrants, largely from Central America and Mexico, have poured into the region, drastically changing its long-established racial character and adding to its basic economic vitality. Since the mid-1990s, immigration to North Carolina has risen by 73%, the largest such increase in the nation. Three of the top four regions in the country with the strongest increase in Latino immigration are in the state. Fastest Growing Hispanic Cities Hispanic Population and Growth (1990-2000) Source: Census Bureau Analysis by: William Frey The new immigration patterns have forced some demographers, such as the University of Michigan's William Frey, to reassess their 1990s analysis of America's changing racial profile. Formerly Frey saw America as divided between immigrant "magnets", such as Los Angeles and New York, and areas like Las Vegas and North Carolina, that were primarily luring domestic migrants.

8. "The New Geography" By Joel Kotkin Nerdstans are the new technology communities like Irvine, California, Research Triangle,north carolina and the the renaissance of older cities such as http://www.newgeography.com/Henton_review.htm

Why Place Still Matters in the Digital World By Doug Henton H ere is a book that should be required reading by every regional steward in America. Joel Kotkin, a senior fellow at Pepperdine University who writes a monthly column on "Grassroots Business" for the New York Time s, make the strong case for why place still matters in the digital world. His paradoxical message is: " The more technology frees us from the tyranny of place and past affiliation, the greater the need for individual places to make themselves more attractive." Kotkin colorfully illustrates his point with a rich range of interesting examples from communities across America. What matters today is talent, quality of life and an entrepreneurial environment, not low costs and access to raw materials. Kotkin’s law: Wherever knowledge workers cluster, in small towns or big cities that is where wealth will accumulate. Knowledge workers want good places to live. So places better get busy trying to create livable communities attractive to knowledge workers. Kotkin points out two trends that reinforce this urban renaissance. Immigration has transformed the landscape of most America cities. According to Kotkin, this has been a good thing- adding to the talent pool, creating urban vitality and promoting cross-cultural trade. A second trend has been the rise of creative services and the emerging cultural industrial complex in cities. He makes the case that "The cultural intensive nature of knowledge value production draws on a different, often younger, demographic base that is more attracted to a distinctly urban environment."

Geologic upheavals and climate change have shaped the land and given its regions unique characteristics. A not always benign North Carolina physical geography For much of 20th century, North Carolina depended on extractive industries such as agriculture and forestry . More recently agri-business, like the hog industry, has become dominant, though not without serious negative environmental impacts. Meanwhile, the tobacco industry is crippled by medical concerns, and by their manufacturing shift to overseas locations. Family farms, the mainstay of earlier centuries, are being replaced by corporate farms with their emphasis on a low cost labor force, much of this made up of Latino migrants.

Research interests Current projects Research style My work consists of a range of qualitative methods. I my dissertation I use discourse analysis and participatory action research. I very much enjoy collaboration, particularly interdisciplinary collaboration, and find it to be like teaching: rigorous, stimulating, constantly evolving, and fun. I hope that my research maintains a connection to critically engaged social action and have used qualitative methods to form much more interesting relationships with the people I study than what conventional social scientific research might allow. Publications Other interests Along with spending time with my partner I enjoy reading all sorts of books, especially 20th Century literature from central and eastern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, playing soccer (apologies for the terminology for those outside the U.S.), hiking, encouraging my cats to wrestle, listening to jazz and the blues, and reluctantly cheering for the Boston Red Sox at the end of each summer.

@import url(../styles/base.css); Southside Region Southside is traditionally defined as the region south of the James River, east of the Blue Ridge, west of Tidewater, and north of No' Carolina. In the early 1700's the colonial governors were accused of favoring development of the region north of the James River, and "Southside" was the frontier at Southampton and Brunswick counties. Governor Spottswood built Fort Christianna, but he purchased land in the Rapidan/Rappahannock watershed and started his Germanna colony there. If you accept the James River and North Carolina boundaries, then the northern and southern edges of Southside are relatively easy to define. However, the residents of Chesterfield and Powhatan counties (and even Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and Dinwiddie) might prefer to be classified as part of the Richmond-centered "capital region" now. Sunlight on the Southside (1934) starts with: The title chosen for this work, makes appropriate some explanation of what is meant by "The Southside." The Southside is territory on the south side of James River but just exactly what area is referred to when the term is used is not always clear. After multiple efforts to clarify the region's boundaries, the author concluded with:
