520 |a A study examined the shift in the poor and working class demographic in the southern U.S. from a primarily African-American-based workforce to a sizable population of Latino/a immigrants, particularly in light of the reconstruction of the region following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Data were obtained from primary scholarly works and from secondary sources, including newspapers, legal briefs, government reports, and briefing papers published by human rights agencies. Findings suggested that the redevelopment of the Deep South was tantamount to state-sponsored exploitation of immigrant workers. Findings indicated that the influx of Latino/a workers resulted in increased racial tension between native-born African-Americans and whites against newly arrived immigrant populations from Mexico, Central America, and other parts of the U.S. Findings are discussed in detail.
