Immigrant and Migrant Mushroom Workers in Southern Chester County, Pennsylvania Indiana University of Pennsylvania The focus of this paper will be on two expanding enclaves,
one in Kennett Square and the other in nearby Toughkenamon.
Mexican immigration, residential concentration, and housing and
living conditions will be presented in the two cases. A brief
demographic and socioeconomic profile of the immigrant and migrant
populations will also be included. Additionally, the arrival
of the Mexicans in these communities and others will be contextualized
within other population changes in Southern Chester County, namely
the settlement of White professionals immigrating from surrounding
metropolitan areas and the exodus of Blacks. The reasons behind
the growth of the Mexican enclaves will also be covered in the
paper. It will be argued that the mushroom industry and the Special
Agricultural Workers (SAW) Program together are responsible for
the on going Mexican enclave process. Hardcopy Price: $3.00
