RESUMO
ABSTRACT
The following paper studies the influence of the North American culture
in the Latins residents in The United States of America, showing that the
identity of a nation and of na individual is in constant process of changes,
as it can be seen in the insertion of Spanish in the English language
(Spanglish). In order to achieve such purpose, it makes use of the movie
Spanglish, by James L. Brooks, as basis for analysis. This movie shows
the difficulties faced by Latin people in the USA and the differences
between the American and Mexican cultures.
