ARRIAGA MARTINEZ, Rafael. Inmigración y discriminación: mecanismos sociocognoscitivos generadores de comportamientos discriminatorios en los Estados Unidos. LiminaR [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.2, pp.30-40. ISSN 2007-8900.

To elucidate the social and cognitive mechanisms that we believe explain the racial prejudice and discriminatory behavior that have or continue to affect the structure of the relationship of the dominant society with immigrants. We consider the case of Catholic Europeans arriving to the United States throughout the nineteenth century. We apply the categories of analysis specific to the general theory of rationality and hope to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of discrimination against immigrants and in particular those pertaining to the Mexican immigrants as in the case of European Catholics whom are seen as bearers of cultural traits incompatible with the cultures of the host society.

Palavras-chave : inmigration; discrimination; perception; culture; religion; catholics; protestants; cognitive ratiolity; axiologique rationality; religiouse rationality.
