Preferred term

assimilation without acculturation

  • In the process of becoming Americanized, immigrants face linguistic, cultural, social, and ethnic identity challenges. Research on assimilation and acculturation has recurrently addressed the question of why some immigrant groups seem to become Americanized quickly, while others do so more slowly.
