Abstract
Based on textual analysis of selected editorials in the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion, which started publication in Los Angeles, California in 1926, this article examines the tensions and tendencies in the Mexican population in the United States related to the experience of adapting to life in a new environment. A close reading of editorials in early issues of the newspaper highlights how La Opinion provided Mexican immigrants with information that promoted Mexican nationalism as well as adaptation to life in the United States. In doing so La Opinion served as a bridge between the two cultures and both articulated and contributed to the construction of a Mexican American identity.
