South Americans in the United States  

Definition

  • Though relatively recent and small in number compared with other immigrant groups, the South American population in the United States has grown markedly in the last few decades. South Americans, differing in important ways from other Latin American immigrants, are gradually coming to play a larger role in the “Latinization” of the United States.
