The objective of this article is to generate a reflection on the motivations for the consumption of ethnic and nostalgic products in the United States, and how migrants, in addition to the social process in which they are immersed in the destination country, act as an economic agent that consumes and demands goods and services associated with their identity, sense of belonging and culture.

Keywords: Migration, Nostalgic market, United States, Consumption
