Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Puerto Rican identity in the United States has long been influenced by pressure to Americanize and by pressure to maintain a common Puerto Rican nationalist identity (Davila 1997). Puerto Ricans in response have created a culture that is strongly influenced by Americanization policies, but still uniquely Puerto Rican (Davila 1997; Morris 1995). The Puerto Rican government has deliberately endeavored to direct the philosophy of Puerto Rican identity on the island and abroad (Davila 1997; Duany 2002a). This struggle for the maintenance of Puerto Rican culture against the affront of the Americanization influences has created a rift between Puerto Ricans who wish to maintain their Puerto Ricaness on the island versus the perceived threat of Nuyorican influences from the Diasporas. The Diaspora community in turn has fought for the maintenance of their own Puerto Rican culture in the face of a hostile environment in the metropolis (Flores 2000; Padilla 1986).In keeping with the question of adaptability for Puerto Ricans in the United States, my study will analyze the significance of the traditional assimilation paradigm as well as the segmented assimilation model on Puerto Ricans in the United States. Furthermore, using the 1989 Latino National Political Survey (LNPS) I will use structural level variables, such as the proportional size of each specific group in my study to Puerto Rican women in order to challenge the traditional assimilation and the segmented assimilation paradigms to the adaptability perspective. Initial findings have indicated that identity is strongly maintained even when Puerto Ricans out-group marry. However, the strength of their identity vary by the ethnic group they marry into.
