third-generation principle  

Definición

  • On May 15, 1937, Marcus Lee Hansen, the most important immigration historian of his era, delivered an address titled “The Problem of the Third-Generation Immigrant” to the Augustana Historical Society in Rock Island, Illinois. Speaking not to a gathering of academic specialists but, rather, to a literate lay audience interested in the preservation of a distinctly Swedish American identity, he offered the grounding for a model, “the third-generation principle,” capable of looking at ethnicity in the United States in a way that forced a reconsideration of the dominant theoretical model of the period, assimilation (particularly as it was associated with the Chicago School of Sociology), and its main challenger, cultural pluralism (associated primarily with the writings of Horace Kallen).
