Cultural assimilation refers to the process of adopting the dominant culture's norms, values, and practices, usually through force or coercion. Cultural accommodation, on the other hand, is when a group retains its own cultural identity while also adapting to aspects of the dominant culture. Tejanos in Texas after it became a U.S. state often faced pressure to assimilate into Anglo-American culture, but many also chose to accommodate by blending their traditions with new practices. Overall, the Tejano community grappled with finding a balance between preserving their cultural heritage and adapting to the changing social dynamics in Texas.
