Abstract

This work makes a symbolic approach to the transatlantic dialogue across the Iberian presence in the United States. Through an interdisciplinary and transversal methodology, here are analysed some aspects on the Portuguese immigration in North America, with a special focus in its journalistic production.  This main argument try to expose the relevance of the immigrant press in creation the American identity, as well as to promote an own community project, which has served to lay bridges among American and Iberian cultures along history.
