초록

This paper argues that there are geographic and human (racial make-up) similarities in the emigration of Hispanics/Latinos to the U.S. and that of North Africans/Muslims to Europe. The paper argues, however, that compared to their counterparts in Europe, the Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S. tends to be more assimilated, with shared religious history (Christianity) being a big part of the reason for such assimilation. To put differently, unlike North African/Muslim immigrants in Europe, Latin American immigrants are more integrated in the U.S. because most of them share with the majority of the population similar beliefs in conservative traditions, Christianity and God, while North Africans in Europe tend to be Muslims in a Christian continent, very conservative and religious in a continent that is increasingly becoming secular and relying less in religion and God.

Abstract

This paper argues that there are geographic and human (racial make-up) similarities in the emigration of Hispanics/Latinos to the U.S. and that of North Africans/Muslims to Europe. The paper argues, however, that compared to their counterparts in Europe, the Hispanic/Latino population in the U.S. tends to be more assimilated, with shared religious history (Christianity) being a big part of the reason for such assimilation. To put differently, unlike North African/Muslim immigrants in Europe, Latin American immigrants are more integrated in the U.S. because most of them share with the majority of the population similar beliefs in conservative traditions, Christianity and God, while North Africans in Europe tend to be Muslims in a Christian continent, very conservative and religious in a continent that is increasingly becoming secular and relying less in religion and God.
