Acculturation is an ancient topic of scholarship, with ever more interest and importance as migration increases on a global scale. The pace of scholarship has accelerated in the past few decades, with the result that earlier scholarship tends to be lost and recent scholarship is often unfound. The following bibliography is intended to help remedy these kinds of problems. This 2020 revision of Rudmin's 2011 bibliography has almost 8,300 references, including much of the acculturation literature written in Portuguese, French, and Spanish.

The History of Acculturation: A review article
2024 •
Ali Elhami
Migration is a conscious decision that comes with many difficulties and has been a feature of human history since the beginning of time. The process has increased in frequency recently as a result of globalization. These days, a large number of people from less developed or lower-income countries migrate to more developed or higher-income countries to gamble their fate in a new society in the hopes of ameliorating their lot in life, obtaining a more profitable job, raising their kids in a less hazardous environment, or attending top-notch universities. During their experience, they often endure hardships in the target country, such as resettlement stress, racism, unemployment, and/or language difficulties. Hence, the study of acculturation is crucial in understanding how individuals adapt to a new culture and cope with the challenges they may encounter. This article aims to explore the concept of acculturation by looking at existing theories and research on the topic.

Disseminating the real-world importance of conjunct studies of acculturation, transculturation, and deculturation processes: Why this can be a useful technique to analyze real-world observations

We begin this paper by reviewing the core tenets and principles of the symbiotic approach of sociocultural change or the "Proactive-interactive-symbiotic approach to long-term cultural change", that we had proposed several years ago, and by representing it in brief for the benefit of our readers. We also then review and go through various others concepts centered on, and pertaining to acculturation, enculturation, and transculturation, and compare them with the already preexisting concepts in the market. We also then go on to explain why conjunct studies of acculturation, transculturation, and deculturation processes of various types need to be carried out, and lay forth their real world utility as well. We do this by examining the different types of acculturation, transculturation, and deculturation processes and methods from the aforesaid perspective. We also provide various case studies drawn from different communities from different parts of the world around these concepts to beef up our case, and lend more credence to the tenets of our thesis. Last, but not the least, we explain why these concepts could form an essential and an intrinsic component of post-colonial studies, and form an intrinsic part of our globalization of science movement as well. This would naturally lend a more scientific flavor to cultural studies in general, and post-colonial studies in particular.

The acculturation of immigrants Case study: types of acculturation of the Romanian immigrants in Madrid

Cristina Ilie
The way in which an inclusive culture imposes its defining patterns over a less influential culture is called acculturation. In this article we will discuss the four strategies of acculturation and we will see how the Romanian immigrants in Madrid have adapted to the culture of the host society. By analyzing the results of field research we will discover the types of acculturation created among the Romanian immigrants in the city of Madrid.
Rethinking the Concept of Acculturation: Implications for Theory and Research
Sarah Aref
This article presents an expanded model of acculturation among international migrants and their immediate descendants. Acculturation is proposed as a multidimensional process consisting of the confluence among heritage-cultural and receiving-cultural practices, values, and identifications. The implications of this reconceptualization for the acculturation construct, as well as for its relationship to psychosocial and health outcomes, are discussed. In particular, an expanded operationalization of acculturation is needed to address the " immigrant paradox, " whereby international migrants with more exposure to the receiving cultural context report poorer mental and physical health outcomes. We discuss the role of ethnicity, cultural similarity, and discrimination in the acculturation process, offer an operational definition for context of reception, and call for studies on the role that context of reception plays in the acculturation process. The new perspective on acculturation presented in this article is intended to yield a fuller understanding of complex acculturation processes and their relationships to contextual and individual functioning.
A literature review on the Portuguese emigration literature and acculturation
Joaquim P de Castro
This article discusses a statistical review done on the Observatório da Emigração's database, which has references about the Portuguese emigration literature. The literature review aimed to fulfill two goals, i.e., to get a deeper comprehension about the appraisals regarding cultural change, and to single out the Portuguese emigration literature, according to the acculturation models, updating it. The assimilation model is pervasive in the Portuguese literature. The multicultural and the fusion models are scarce. The present article is proposing that the multicultural model should be taken into account, in order to approach the maintenance of the Portuguese culture. The fusion model should also be taken into account, because emigrants can reinterpret the Portuguese and the host cultures. Acculturation is mainly a learning process, and it causes cultural changes, due to the fusion of cultures.
