The Rural Latino Resources Guide is a compiled listing of researchers, scientists, educators, and organizations throughout North America who have become willing partners in the documentation, research, and support of rural Latino issues. The Rural Latino Resources Guide has logically separated individuals from organizations, and provides specific contact information about each. The Rural Latino Resources Guide, the first of its kind published by JSRI, also lists publications and other work produced by the Guide's participants. Rural Latino Resources includes background information on Latinos and brief abstracts of nearly 100 social scientists, researchers, and educators throughout North America. The specialists listed herein have expressed their willingness to be contacted on the topics and for services indicated in the guide. This collection of information about leaders in this field is a result of our findings here at the Julian Samora Research Institute. Research by our scholars has shown that the demographic transformation of America has been most profound in rural areas where Latinos have settled in increasing numbers. Interest has been steadily growing in the area of Rural Latino Studies, but until this project, resources in this field have been scattered. As a Latino research institution, we at the Julian Samora Research Institute have taken it upon ourselves to develop a concise resource guide of recognized leaders in this field. Rural Latino Resources has been arranged in several sections for added clarity. The first section contains a discussion of the current need to study this population, followed by a list of specialists and resources. The next section contains contact information and a detailed description of the past and current work of each specialist, listed alphabetically, with a breakdown by specialty of these individuals. The following section lists and details relevant resources on rural and Latino issues. Next is a list of relevant publications and other work produced by the Rural Latino Resources' members. The final section lists publications of those who have been or who are currently affiliated with the Julian Samora Research Institute. Information for Rural Latino Resources was steadily accumulated until June 1997. A dynamic resource guide, our goal is that of continued growth. It is anticipated that this publication will grow rapidly like the field of Rural Latino Studies itself. We anticipate producing updated versions, especially for our home page: http://www.jsri.msu.edu.
