Abstract

In the United States, the portion of the population that is of Hispanic descent has now become the largest minority group in the nation. Continued immigration guarantees that their numbers will grow in the coming decades. The influence of Spanish-speakers in America is increasing in all aspects of lifedomestic political issues, education, immigration policy, international relations. The social fabric of the United States is also changing to reflect the incorporation of many Hispanic cultural elements into the mainstream of American life. This article examines the process of cultural amalgamation and considers some examples in the present-day America.
