Abstract

A wide variety of nationalities have come together in this country to create what we now call American culture. As any culture develops, the folklore that is passed down from one generation to the next, in the form of stories and anecdotes, plays a vital role. Recently, Latinos have become the largest minority group in the United States, and rising. In order to understand the future of American culture, we must examine the stories that Latinos are currently passing down to their children.
