Abstract

Journal of American Folklore123(2010) as "thirdspaces." Other studies focus on documenting the commercial landscapes and residential spaces. These chapters address contemporary issues surrounding the recent Hispanic/ Latino immigration and its impact on the cultural landscape in the United States. These studies make connections between the rate of the Hispanic/Latino population's growth and the number of Spanish-language cultural markers in neighborhoods. Here, authors identify and compare these spatial patterns to assess social changes and develop public policies. All of the chapters in this book are well researched and documented; they use a variety of methods and fieldwork strategies, and offer a rich database of commercial, residential, and leisure landscapes, which lend themselves readily to folklore analysis. I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in folklore research methods, urban planning, immigrant folklore, and Hispanic studies in the United States.
