ALANIS ENCISO, Fernando Saúl. Emory S. Bogardus: Early Approaches to the Study of Mexican Migrants in the United States (1914-1919). Secuencia [online]. 2024, n.118, e2199.  Epub Feb 23, 2024. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i118.2199.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the initial approaches of American sociologist Emory S. Bogardus to the study of Mexican migrants in the United States and the ideas informing these approaches. To this end, I examine his concern about the Americanization of immigrants and what this involved. I also study his vision of the “Mexican problem” and the origin of this conception. These two aspects shaped his view of Mexican migrants in the United States at that time, from 1910 to1920. The relevance of this work is that it examines the first stage of the career of one of the authors who, together with Manuel Gamio and Paul S. Taylor, pioneered the study of this type of migration.

Keywords : migration; Americanization; Bogardus; problem; Mexicans.
