Resumo

Neste artigo resenho o debate acadêmico suscitado nos Estados Unidos por causa dos argumentos de Huntington sobre a imigração hispânica, sobretudo a de mexicanos, para este país. Em suas obras “The Hispanic challenge” e Who are we?, Huntington argumenta que, por razões demográficas e políticas, os imigrantes mexicanos não se assimilariam ao core culture norte-americano fundado nos valores anglo-protestantes, o que dividiria os EUA em dois povos, duas culturas e duas linguagens. As pesquisas empíricas aqui resenhadas que testaram os argumentos empíricos de Huntington os negaram e os críticos teóricos destes concebem que eles são doutrinários porque expressam uma ideologia settler, bem como manifestam a teoria do conflito do pluralismo cultural e a do colonianismo interno.

 

Abstract:

In this article I review the academic debate generated in the United States from the Huntington's arguments about Hispanic immigration, especially Mexicans, for this country. In his works “The Hispanic challenge” and Who are we?, Huntington argues that for demographic and political reasons Mexican immigrants not assimilate to American culture founded on the core Anglo-Protestant values, which will divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures and two languages. Empirical studies that tested here the empirical Huntington’s arguments denied them and the critical theorists conceive them doctrinal, because express a settler ideology and manifest conflict theory of cultural pluralism and the internal colonialism.

Keywords: United States; immigration; Mexican; assimilation; core culture; Huntington
