Latino Urbanism….The Disappearance of an “Immigrant”

Coming to America, immigrants are immigrants, new to the land and to the American culture. However, when they settle in, they settle mostly in a community that consists more of them and more of their religion and their identity. Therefore, their “immigrant” label diminishes due to the fact that they basically integrate with the people around them. However, the continued interaction among each other as well as social events, they create their own identity. Throughout Dante’s piece, we see the factors that play a role in leaning immigrants to join with their “own” and become their own identity with them. Initially, there weren’t as many Latinos in the Corona but those factors and time greatly influenced the transformation of the background of the community. One factor was White flight that was effective in the transformation in which the number of blacks decreased.

As a son of Indian immigrants, I can compare what Dante says to my own parents. The initial action to reside is somewhere comfortable where you know the people and the culture so they don’t feel the “social force” acting upon them. Not only, but the nature of the growth of population also impacts the emergence of the Latino community. From two states to all 50 states, the population of Latino communities have increased, and within each city they gradually get higher.This article explains much of the demographics of the emergence of Latino Communities as well as that of Corona. With 44% being Latinos, it has been divided into three subareas, North Corona, Corona Plaza, and Corona Heights. Much of the emergence of Lationos has come about from social issues and the interaction with people surrounding them. That is what creates unity as well as a form of identity for themselves. Even though they all come from different nations and parts of the world, they become a group when they surround themselves with their own.
