Toomey, Melissa2023-04-112023-04-112023http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12613/8407This research project was completed as part of the Honors Representing Race (ENG 0934) course.This research project aims to answer the following research question: “Should immigrants work to fully assimilate into American society by only speaking English instead of their native languages?” It argues that immigrants should not work to linguistically assimilate into American life because it restricts these individuals to a superficial sense of belonging within American society and distances them from their native identity. In order to demonstrate this claim with a unique genre, the author created a satirical American survival guide promoting English only, juxtaposed with a second ethnic minority empowerment magazine.2 pagesengIN COPYRIGHT- This Rights Statement can be used for an Item that is in copyright.
