- W3009815585 abstract "In this thesis there is presented a study of the disorganization of Portuguese immigrant families, which results from the interaction of their rather restrictive culture with the freer, American way of life. The study is developed through the analysis of the cases of ten Portuguese families which became disorganized in the United States. The restrictive culture of the Portuguese Islands of the Azores which made their families so vulnerable in America is described in some detail. The lower economic status of the Portuguese, Azorean peasant is given some emphasis. Then there is a treatment of the oppressive factors of the Portuguese political structure. The Portuguese family with its patriarchal dominance and lack of individual identity is presented. A careful search for helpful literature in the study of the disintegration of the Portuguese families in the United States was not too fruitful. There were some workers who gave aid in the presentation of the background of the Portuguese people and in their earlier attempts at orientation to the ways of the United States. However the major part of the study was carried on through a personal investigation of the cases of disorganized Portuguese families in the United States by the study of records of social agencies and by personal interviews. From a large number of cases available for study ten were selected as the core of this thesis. These cases were selected in accord with the following criteria: 1. The completeness of the data available 2. The seriousness of the disorganization. 3. The position of respect formerly held by the family in the Portuguese community of which it was a part. The first major group of cases emphasizes a release from a restricted and repressive religious pattern. The transition from the confines of a culture of one religion to a culture of many religions imparted a great strain upon the family structure of many of the Portuguese immigrants. The second group of cases involves the marriage of Portuguese persons with persons of other cultures. Portuguese culture demanded that the family select the mate. The American culture which surrounded the family upheld the right of the person to select his own mate. The selection of the mate was the symbol of the son's or daughter's revolt against family domination, a repudiation of the old restrictive culture, and an embracing of the new freedom. The third and last group of cases involves Portuguese" @default.
