Document Summary
Construct a reading outline that focuses on key concepts. Some of the readings from the syllabus are not included so go over the list. Use other readings to support to help with your analysis. Migration and families: diasporic culture- bring home with you. You bring pieces of your own culture, can"t be stripped of it. You kind of create your own community in the same place. It"s like you bring that home with us. You still practice your culture just in a new place: acculturation and assimilation. Acculturation: you accustom to the culture you moved to but you still carry your culture with you (from where you moved) Like you all speak english but still speak polish for example. Assimilation: strip away your identity entirely, you assimilate to the majority culture and you completely get rid of your culture. Don"t want your accent anymore for example. You don"t want people to associate the culture you came from with you.
