This study will conduct a preliminary analysis of Dominicans living in the new gateway community of Reading, PA. The investigators will analyze U.S Census data, and conduct an ethnosurvey and key informant interviews in Reading, to investigate the interplay of self-identity, context of reception, and assimilation outcomes. The long-term goal is to explore these issues across a representative spectrum of Dominican communities in the U.S.
