The Afro-Caribbean community of Queens has steadily become a prominent minority group over the past few decades. The group is, in a way, a minority within a minority, as members of the group choose not to identify as “Latino” or “African-American”. As with any influx of immigration, the Afro-Caribbean community has contributed to economic and cultural growth within Queens. Afro-Caribbean cultures are rhythmic and vivacious, in Constance Sutton’s own words, and bring a very lively, distinct atmosphere to the neighborhoods of Queens they inhabit. The influx of new immigrants from the Caribbean has also led to a steep rise in employment of these immigrants in demanding labor markets, namely care-providers in hospitals and other medical institutions.
