The economic turmoil of the past decade has combined with long-standing demographic change to remake the geography of identity and privilege  in metropolitan America. On this new landscape, old notions of city and suburb are no longer useful in locating rich and poor, native and immigrant, whites and minorities. Journalism professor Roberto Suro and his co-authors explored the changing patterns and the policy implications in a report published recently by the Brookings Institution, where Suro is a non-resident senior fellow. "Immigration and Poverty in America's Suburbs" applies new methods of analyzing Census Bureau data to understanding how the suburbanization of poverty among immigrants has followed trends in the broader society and poses varied challenges for suburban governments unaccustomed to dealing with either the poor or the foreign born. In another publication, Suro assess the implications of the 2006 immigrant rights marches on Latino political identity. His essay, "Out of the Shadows, into the Light: Questions Raised by the Spring of 2006," appears as the final chapter in an edited volume published this summer by University of California Press.  Pulling together scholars from diverse disciplines, the book, Rallying for Immigrant Rights: The Fight for Inclusion in 21st Century America, offers the first comprehensive examination of one the great social mobilizations in American history.
