Workshop

Latin American Immigration in the United States: Flows, Identity and Integration

Date:
12.Apr.2007
Time:
19:00 hrs
Place:
CIDOB Foundation. Campana Hall. Elisabets, 24. 08001 Barcelona
Organised by:
the Migrations Programme of the CIDOB Foundation, in collaboration with the Consulate General of the United States in Barcelona.

The United States is a traditional country of immigration. From its beginnings until the present day, it has been the destination of countless migration flows, which have continually changed throughout its history. From the first waves of European immigration to the most recent ones, composed primarily of Latin American nationals, the United States has taken on the profile of a great cauldron of cultures, the popular country of the “melting pot”. Over the past few years, the continuous flows from Latin America have served to open a debate on the current model of integration in the United States, while at the same time highlighting the situation of irregular immigrants living in the country.

Time: 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Speaker: Ramon Grosfoguel, Lecturer in the Department of Ethnic Studies, University of California, Berkeley.

Presentation by Richard A. Figueroa, Assistant Cultural Attaché, United States Embassy in Madrid.
