Latin American Identities And The American Demonym, Maia S. Schofield
Latin American Identities And The American Demonym, Maia S. Schofield
Undergraduate Distinction Papers
Current literature addresses the question of Latin American identity largely in terms of assimilation, language proficiency, generation of immigrant, and political participation, while the American demonym remains an understudied topic. ‘America’ has been popularized in its usage to refer only to the United States and ‘American’ to its nationals.
