El "alma de la colonia". La significación histórica de la prensa inmigrante portuguesa en los Estados Unidos: cultura, lengua y periodismo.

The main objective of this work is to approach the historical significance of the Portuguese immigrant press in the United States of America, paying special attention to those elements of a narrative nature that have contributed to create a symbolic discourse and to give a transcendental and ethnocentric meaning to the Portuguese presence in North America. Through a quantitative and qualitative approach that uses techniques of discourse analysis, the article intends to offer a general radiography on the most paradigmatic aspects of the journalistic narrative of this type of press related to the Portuguese-American cultural imaginary in the United States.
