AB This work focuses on the cultural diversity of the United States, in particular on the three main theories that have been developed on this issue: the Melting Pot, Multiculturalism, and the New Mestiza. The objective of this study is to explore in detail the evolution of these social theories or conceptions and the differences among them. In order to achieve this objective, the methodology used consists on the compilation and organization of data from different sources, especially from two detailed studies: The Opening of the American Mind, by Lawrence W. Levine, and Borderlands / La Frontera: The New Mestiza, by Gloria Anzaldúa. The results show that these theories originated in the social diversity present in the United States, and that the evolution from one theory to another resulted from the need to complement or replace the previous ideals, and that they present many differences.
