In addition to a brief demographic overview of the U.S. Hispanic population, this executive briefing:
  • Demonstrates how U.S. Hispanics’ levels of acculturation affect their traditional Hispanic values.
  • Illuminates the process by which Hispanics adopt (or avoid) American traditions.
  • Reveals the nuances that affect their cultural identity, language and media preferences.
  • Examines the conflict over assimilation vs. acculturation.
  • Uncovers the trend toward “retro-acculturation” among Hispanic youth born and raised in the U.S. who want to explore their roots and adopt the traditions of their family’s country of origin.
Hispanics can be anywhere along the scale of acculturation, regardless of when they arrived in the U.S.; whether they are young or old; no matter if they are of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American or other origin; and whether they are English-dominant, bilingual, or Spanish-dominant at home.
