Research in Progress
What=s New About the New South? Race, Latino Immigration, and Inter-group Relations
As a result of the Durham Pilot Project: St. Benedict the Black meets the Virgin of
Guadalupe, we now have site-specific answers to some of the questions raised earlier, but in order to see whether attitudes identified in Durham manifest themselves in other Southern cities that have been the recipients of substantial Latino immigration. Thus, I submitted a proposal to the Russell Sage Foundation to resurvey Durham and expand the project into two additional cities—Memphis, TN, and Little Rock, AR. The Russell Sage Foundation
awarded a grant to fund three of the cities, e.g., Durham, Memphis and Little Rock. The grant was for $157,000 and ran from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2009.
The 2007 surveys in Durham, Memphis and Little Rock were conducted from April 6, 2007 to October 27, 2007 and interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish (more than 90 percent of the Latino sample in all three cities opted to be interviewed in Spanish). A race/ethnicity quota was implemented to achieve a minimum of 300 whites, 300 blacks, and 300 Latinos in each city, with the ability to pick up other respondents not under this quota in the random digit dialing process. Interviews were completed with 977 residents of Durham, 825 residents of Little Rock and 978 residents of Memphis.
In Durham, the sample of 977 consists of 317 whites (32.4 percent), 318 blacks (32.5
percent), 316 Latinos (32.3 percent), 23 Asians (2.4 percent), 21 who designated their race as Other (2.1 percent). In Little Rock, the sample of 825 consists of 348 whites (42.2 percent), 315 blacks (38.2 percent), 127 Latinos (16.6 percent), 13 Asians (1.6 percent), 13 who designated their race as Other (1.6 percent), and 2 respondents (0.2 percent) who did not indicate a racial category. In Memphis, the sample of 978 consists of 327 whites (33.4 percent), 338 blacks (34.6), 312 Latinos (31.9 percent), 4 Asians (.4 percent), and 13 who designated their race as Other (1.3 percent). I am in the process with my co-authors (former and current graduate students) drafting articles and I am drafting a book manuscript.
