Tradição e tradução: festa e etnicidade entre os imigrantes açorianos nos E.U.A.

Desde finais do século XIX que se desenvolveu, nos estados norte- -americanos de Massachusetts (MA) e de Rhode Island (RI), uma importante comunidade de origem portuguesa. De acordo com o censo norte-americano de 1990, essa comunidade é composta por um total de 320.000 pessoas de portuguese ancestry. Tendo sido freqüentemente descrita como uma minoria étnica "invisível" (cf Smith, 1978), ela tem entretanto uma presença importante em cidades como Fali River e New Bedford - no sudeste de Massachusetts - ou East Providence - Rhode Island - onde representa entre 40 a 55% da população total. Chegada aos EUA em duas vagas sucessivas - a primeira situada entre 1870 e 1930, a segunda entre 1960 e 1980 - esta comunidade é originária, em cerca de 90% dos casos, do arquipélago dos Açores. Dada esta sua ascendência açoriana, os imigrantes portugueses nos EUA mantêm laços importantes com a cultura do arquipélago, que, como se sabe, ao mesmo tempo que possui bastantes pontes com a cultura portuguesa mais geral, apresenta também inúmeras particularidades.
