| Title | The American Theater: Latinos Performing as American citizens by supporting Trump's Ideals |
| Summary | The sudden change that a percentage of the Latino community in the United States showed while voting for Trump reflects that a major change of political and social values is happening within the Latino community. The support they have given to Trumpīs campaign only demonstrates their support for new anti-immigration regulations and conservative values, which are causing a division of ideologies inside the Latino community. As the title mentions, the research implies that there has been a change on the identity of the already mentioned Latino community, an identity that seeks to be approved by the American standards. In order to understand their new political beliefs, it is necessary to use the method of discourse analysis to comprehend those comments and interviews that are published on web sites such as: “Latinos for Trump” and “GOP Hispanic Division”. Among the results that the research has shown, the notion of the “American Dream” can be considered as a determinant object for the construction of a new identity that is rooted in hard work and legality |
