Summary
Immigrants and internal migrants with origins in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic have figured centrally in the formation and renovation of many U.S. cities. In turn, (re)settlement in established enclaves and new destinations has acted upon and influenced their identity and linguistic outcomes. This chapter addresses the ethnic and linguistic affiliations and practices of these groups, as members seek to navigate their oftentimes ambiguous status within U.S. racial hierarchies and respond to the prevailing language attitudes and ideologies of their communities and of the larger society.
