Creating Community: Hispanic Migration to Rural Delaware

Creating Community: Hispanic Migration to Rural Delaware by Katherine Borland, Ph.D. (Delaware Heritage Press / Delaware Heritage Commission) documents the growth of Hispanic communities in Sussex County through first-person narratives and interviews. The book explores why families came to rural Delaware, how they found work and housing, and how they built support networks, highlighting the experiences of workers, entrepreneurs, community organizers, and local leaders as Sussex County’s demographics changed rapidly in the 1990s and early 2000s.
