A number of cities in Kansas have experienced rapid growth in
Hispanic population during the last thirty years, due to
immigration related in particular to the development of the
meatpacking industry in the region. Garden City, Dodge City, and
Liberal in southwest Kansas and Emporia in eastern Kansas have
undergone significant transformation due to the influx of
immigrants, the large majority of whom are of Mexican background.
The present research approaches these immigrants from a
sociological perspective, observing their cultural characteristics
in order to understand who they are, and the process they face when
adapting to the receiving environment, as a process of acquisition
of cultural capital. This study focuses on the elements from
Midwestern culture that are adopted and adapted, as well as the
elements from the immigrants' cultural backgrounds that are
softened or modified in order to fit within the receiving
environment. The study examines these processes, from the
theoretical perspective modeled by Pierre Bourdieu, as an attempt
to develop an interpretive and comprehensive approach of immigrant
experiences.
