AbstractDramatic demographic changes are occurring in the United States, and some of the most dramatic changes are occurring in the South from Latino immigration. Latinos, by and large, are an entirely new population in the region. How are Black southerners reacting to this new population? Using survey data gathered from a southern location, this article explores several questions related to whether Blacks see these new residents as friendly neighbors or economic competitors. Results suggest that Blacks and non-Blacks perceive a potential economic threat from continued Latino immigration, but Blacks are more concerned about the effects of Latino immigration than are Whites.

Standup Comedy

This chapter investigates the flows of ludic popular culture between Cuba and the United States in order to elaborate its central contention: the movement of popular culture is indicative of the intensification of transnational contact born out of political and demographic changes on both sides and is a means by which this intensification occurs. The first part focuses on standup comedy by island-based comedians who appeal to Cubans who have arrived in Miami since 1994 and the racialized and gendered underpinnings of their acts. The second half explores how popular culture produced in the United States circulates in Cuba through a phenomenon called el paquete semanal (the weekly package). El paqueterefers to the sale and circulation of media content primarily produced off the island, mainly from the United States. In addition to keeping up with American sitcoms and Hollywood blockbusters, people on the island can now watch artists who have left Cuba permanently perform nightly on South Florida television. Analyzing the movement of popular culture between the island and the diaspora highlights how intensifying transnational contact, continuity, and exchange are affecting and reflecting the lives of Cubans on and off the island culturally and economically.

The Impact

Purpose By 2030, the United States' population will increase to approximately 365 million, including 72 million older adults (age ≥ 65 years) and 157 million minority individuals. Although cancer incidence varies by age and race, the impact of demographic changes on cancer incidence has not been fully characterized. We sought to estimate the number of cancer patients diagnosed in the United States through 2030 by age and race. Methods Current demographic-specific cancer incidence rates were calculated using the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Population projections from the Census Bureau were used to project future cancer incidence through 2030. Results From 2010 to 2030, the total projected cancer incidence will increase by approximately 45%, from 1.6 million in 2010 to 2.3 million in 2030. This increase is driven by cancer diagnosed in older adults and minorities. A 67% increase in cancer incidence is anticipated for older adults, compared with an 11% increase for younger adults. A 99% increase is anticipated for minorities, compared with a 31% increase for whites. From 2010 to 2030, the percentage of all cancers diagnosed in older adults will increase from 61% to 70%, and the percentage of all cancers diagnosed in minorities will increase from 21% to 28%. Conclusion Demographic changes in the United States will result in a marked increase in the number of cancer diagnoses over the next 20 years. Continued efforts are needed to improve cancer care for older adults and minorities.
