“Albanians” Ed. Stephan Thernstrom. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pg. 23-28.

Presents the social and cultural makeup of Albanian immigrants in America, discussing their tendency to retain the feudal and clannish aspects of their culture.  Even though they have largely adopted American educational practices, they continue to thrive on discontent and promote large gatherings to celebrate significant Albanian holidays. 

 

Barany, Zoltan D. The East European Gypsies: Regime Change, Marginality, and Ethnopolitics. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002.  Lehman and Barnard. DX145. B37 2002

 

Bird, Thomas E. “Eastern Orthodox.” Ed. Stephan Thernstrom. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pg. 302-303.

Discusses the plight of Eastern Orthodox dioceses in America, illustrating their difficulties in creating and maintaining equivocal religious traditions.  It claims that, in recent years, Eastern Orthodoxy has moved towards a culturally distinct American Orthodox Church. 

 

Bird, Thomas E. “Orthodox.” Ed. Stephan Thernstrom. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pg. 762.

Describes the various Orthodox groups in American history, including Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Orthodox Judaism.  It provides definitions for each religious institution, briefly discussing their traditional demographics and role in American immigrant societies.

David-Fox, Michael. “Cultural Memory in the Century of Upheaval: Big Pictures and Snapshots.” Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History. 2.3 (2008): 601-613. 

This article analyzes the various scholarly approaches to cultural memory, arguing that not one discipline’s definition of memory successfully and succinctly defines the concept.  He claims that an in-depth analysis and conglomeration of approaches to memory can contribute to the study of the Soviet Union and attempt to answer some of its most significant questions. 

 

Dominguez, Virginia R, and Jane Desmond. “Resituating American Studies in a Critical Internationalism.” American Quarterly. 48.3 (1996): 475-490. Online Resource.

Asserts that there is a lack of foreign scholar contribution in the discipline of American studies, and American academics should be willing to accept foreign approaches to American histories and literatures.  The author provides several ways in which foreign scholars can become more integrated in American disciplines.

 

Fishkin, Shelley F. “Crossroads of Cultures: the Transnational Turn in American Studies-Presidential Address to the American Studies Association, November 12, 2004.” American Quarterly. 57.1 (2005): 17-57. 

Discusses the transformation of American Studies in the 1960s, promoting a more transnational approach to American studies.  She argues that American scholars need to become more aware of other cultures and their contributions to American studies in order to transform American scholarly work.

 

Hancock, Ian F. “Gypsies.” Ed. Stephan Thernstrom. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pg. 440-445.

This encyclopedic article analyses the roles of Gypsies in American communities, arguing that they continue to maintain their status as one of the least assimilated ethnic groups in the United States.  It explores the topic through a historical lens, asserting that gypsies have not adopted typical American lifestyles due to their traditional beliefs in social division and maintenance of cultural integrity. 

 

Heimlich, Evan. “Gypsy Americans.” Gale Encyclopedia of Multicultural America. Eds. Vecoli, Rudolph J, Judy Galens, Anna J. Sheets, and Robyn V. Young. Detroit, MI: Gale Research, 1995.  Pp. 627-641.  Lehman  E 184.A1 G14 1995

            Discusses the cultural and social traditions of American Gypsies, arguing that their customs closely relate to those practiced by their Eastern European ancestors.  Heimlich asserts that American Gypsies have largely resisted assimilation; their unique status has resulted in social prejudices and the creation of anti-gypsy laws.

Morawska, Ewa.  “Exploring Diversity in Immigrant Assimilation and Transnationalism: Poles and Russian Jews in Philadelphia.”  International Migration Review 38, no. 4 (Winter, 2004), pp. 1372-1412.

Investigates different patterns of coexistence of assimilation and transnational engagements (A/T) among recent Polish and Jewish Russian immigrants in Philadelphia and the particular constellations of circumstances that generate these outcomes. It then integrates this analysis into a broader comparative examination of the simultaneity of A/T among residentially dispersed Asian Indians, first-wave Cubans in Miami, and Jamaicans, undocumented Chinese, and Dominicans in New York. The main factors shaping the most common A/T patterns in these seven immigrant groups at the global, sending and receiving society national, and local levels are identified.

Alba, Richard D. Ethnic Identity: The Transformation of White America. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1990.  Lehman, Barnard, Butler Reserves, Milstein, Offsite.  E184.A1 A45 1990

Examines ongoing and profound ethnic changes among white Americans through the lens of ethnic identity, or ethnic consciousness. Addresses the questions: is ethnic identity a new basis for ethnic solidarity among whites, or should ethnic identity be viewed as “symbolic ethnicity”—a vestigial attachment to a few ethnic symbols imposing little cost on everyday life? This book favors the symbolic ethnicity view. There is a divergence between the long-run and irreversible decline of object ethnic difference among Americans descended from Europeans, and the continuing subjective importance of ethnic origins to many white Americans. The objective ethnic differences include education, work, family, and community. There are four essential features of ethnic identities. 1. Ethnic identities vary widely in salience, or intensity. 2. Ethnic identities tend to be reflected in experiences that are seen as ethnic. 3. Ethnic identities are bound up in the minds of many with family history. 4. Ethnic identities are not typically anchored in strongly ethnic social structures. There is no need for a contradiction between being American and asserting an ethnic identity.

_____________ and Ewa Morawska, eds.  Toward Assimilation and Citizenship: Immigrants in Liberal Nation-States. Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire; New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003.  Lehman  JV6342 .T68 2002

            The volume is based on the conference Integrating Immigrants in Liberal States, which took place on May 8-9, 1998 at the European University Institute, Florence, within the 1997/1998 European Forum on International Migrations. The volume surveys a trend in immigration studies which can be categorized as a turn away from multicultural and postnational perspectives, toward a renewed emphasis on assimilation and citizenship. This volume challenges this new orthodoxy in two directions: one looks at state policies, the other at immigrant practices and adjustments. The first part of the book deals with liberal immigrant-receiving states’ renewed emphasis on citizenship and assimilation. The second part deals with immigrants’ straddling between assimilation and transnationalism. Contributors include: Rogers Brubaker, Han Entzinger, Randall Hansen, T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Ewa Morawska, Peggy Levitt, Ruud Koopmans, and Paul Statham.

            Greek Catholic churches of the Ukrainians, Belorussians, and Romanians had been suppressed in 1946-1948, and the transformation of the former Soviet bloc has now seen the resurrection of these churches. At the annual convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies in 1990, authors sought to answer the question: what is the connection between the Greek Catholic Church and the formation of modern nations in the East European area? Greek Catholicism offers an appropriate combination of eastern and western identities. Though it is also a controversial answer to this problem of how to combine the two identities. The resurgence of the Greek Catholics has thus far been more successful in Ukraine than in Romania.

Explores the cultural and national identities of Carpatho-Rusyn Americans, arguing that the Revolution of 1989 and collapse of the Soviet Union, coupled with the “roots fever” phenomenon of the 1970s, contributed to a revitalized interest in rediscovering cultural and personal ties within the Carpatho-Rusyn communities.

 

 _______________. “Eastern Catholics.”  Stephan Thernstrom, Ed. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pp. 200-210.

Discusses the representation of Eastern Catholicism in American ethnic groups, arguing that traditional Eastern Catholic language and altar configuration variations originally incited criticism from the Roman Catholic Church, forcing Eastern sects to abandon many of their culturally specific traditions.  However, it asserts that, in recent years, ethnic revival has allowed Eastern Catholic churches in American to revive many of their culturally unique religious customs.

Armstrong (1976) “Mobilized and Proletarian Diasporas,” (pp. 199-214) presenting categories of diasporas that have since been expanded and revised; James Clifford ( 1994), “Diasporas” (pp. 215-251) is a highly influential article by a prominent anthropologist that asks “what is at stake, politically and intellectually, in contemporary invocations of diaspora.” All of the articles in this section“Old and New Meanings of Diaspora” (pp. 199-462) present important theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of diasporas.

            Discusses the impulses influencing a generation of mostly Jewish Hungarian emigrants, and presents them as a vision of a group rather than a series of personal biographies. Culture transfer from Germany helped shape Hungarian arts and sciences at the highest level of European education. The influences on teaching, learning, and research were exported by eminent exiles from Hungary back to Germany, and then from Germany to the US. Most people leaving Hungary in 1919 and early 1920s were involved in running one of the revolutions of 1918-1919. Professional migration was a European phenomenon after World War I, and was not restricted to Hungary alone. The book uses primarily the author’s own material, based on archival research

            Examines how Jewish immigrant hometown associations (landsmanshaftn) transformed old-world communal ties into vehicles for integration into American society. This book examines the organizations’ activities. There was a wide variety of landsmanshaftn—ranging from politically radical and secular to Orthodox. Mutual aid guarded lansmanshaft members against economic exigencies, and they were thus able to take advantage of American opportunities. Because the societies furnished benefits, the male role as provider was reinforced. Women participated in events, however, such as formal social events and in many of the regular meetings. Notably, the immigrant organizations aided their war-ravaged hometowns during World War I. Because of restrictions on immigration, the separation between immigrants and their hometowns in Europe solidified their separation from their origins, but reemphasized their identification with the old home.

            Having rejected the Bieganski stereotypical model, one must identify other understandings of Polish-Jewish relations. One has to consider the economic features that are often not discussed concerning outbreaks of anti-Semitism among Poles. Stereotyping occurs when insupportable conclusions are drawn from demonstrable facts. In Polish stereotypes, Jews lack strength and do not fight for Poland. Jewish assessments of Poles as workers, peasants or as simpler creatures did not always carry a negative valuation. There is prickly debate around all methods of identification of Poles and Jews. For example, if a Pole focuses on the distinctiveness of the Jewish people in Poland, he can be accused of not recognizing Jews as an integral part of Poland (Nosowski). “Pole” and “Jew” are terms of art and convention.

 

Greene, Victor. “Poles.”  Ed. Stephan Thernstrom. Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University, 1980.  Pg. 787-803.

Asserts that Poles, one of the largest minority groups in the United States, initially enforced traditional Polish customs through organizations, religious institutions, and social groups.  However, it explains that, following World War II, Polish Americans became much more integrated into American society, waning in support of nationalist ideologies and choosing to identify more with American norms.

            The manipulation of gender relations was integral to the construction of power hierarchies for both the Nazis and Soviets, despite their conflicting ideologies. The roles assigned to men and women were important components of military, economic, and polticial policies. Lazda focuses on the Latvian family in order to illustrate the relations among gender, the wartime state, and the Latvian nation under occupation during World War II.

Eighty percent of the Latvians living in the United States are descendants of political refugees from the destroyed Europe of post-World War Ii. After the Nazi occupation of Latvia ended, and the Soviets re-established the Communist regime in Latvia, a large number of Latvians fled just ahead of the returning Soviet forces, fearing another wave of persecutions. The book focuses on these refugees. The book provides a detailed description of the political experience of the American Latvian community.

Illustrates the immigration patterns of Estonian Americans, arguing that, although they assimilated well into American society, they promoted the continuation of Estonian social and cultural traditions through the formation of educational and religious institutions and social organizations.  The Estonian American National Council, centered in New York City, has greatly assisted in successfully uniting members of the ethnic minority, forming coalitions to keep Estonian tradition alive.

Provides a history of Estonia from the first signs of human habitation to the present day. The importance of Estonia’s geopolitical location is critical to understanding the shaping of its history. Estonia’s small population is a main reason why the war, feminine, and disease was so ruinous for the country. Estonia also has a role as a multinational crossroads. The location has attracted neighboring and remote peoples. The Estonians have succeeded over the centuries in assimilating the immigrant population.

Concerns Edvard Benes surrender to the Munich Diktat, one of four serious political charges laid out against Benes. The other charges include: accusing him as being the first among East European statesmen during WWII to sell the country to Stalin; accusing Benes of being the main guardian of the artificial “Czechoslovak” union; and, the main architect of the expulsion of over three million Sudeten Germans, in the course of which a quarter of a million allegedly died. The book is a previously unpublished manuscript, with important speeches and official documents blended into Benes’ narrative. Benes’ chief purpose of writing the manuscript was the restoration of Czechoslovakia in the minds of the Anglo-Americans. The book also discusses the Sudeten Crisis, the Munich Diktat of September 1938, Hitler’s invasion of Prague six months later, and the formation of Edvard Benes’s government-in-exile.

This article illustrates Czech Americans as a geographically and socially divided ethnic population, resisting assimilation yet recognizing its inevitability.  Although they valued education and religion, they disagreed on curriculum and sects, a division that ultimately resulted in the formation of two primary Czech American groups: Catholics and Freethinkers.  They simultaneously existed until after World War I, at which time Czech Americans became more socially divided and largely assimilated into American society.

            This book provides a history of the town of Budweis/Budejovice. Residents who were at first “Budweisers” or Habsburg subjects, gradually became Czechs or Germans. The book examines who became Czech and who became German, and what it meant to be one or the other. Definitions of “German” and “Czech” were imprecise and contradictory. As a result, the bilingual population would often switch to the more powerful national side. Likely, some were figured as Germans before the first World War, as Czechs after, as Germans during the Nazi occupation, and as Czechs again in 1945.

This book chapter discusses the varied forms of community building present within Slovak, Rumanian, and Italian immigrant groups, arguing that Slovak immigrant groups primarily organize their lives in conjunction with the Church, whereas Italian and Rumanian groups are more focused on individual success in urban areas while simultaneously maintaining ties with traditional religious and community institutions.

            More studies of individual ethnic groups have to be made before historians can generalize about the whole immigration process. Slovak leaders in both worlds rejected structural assimilation. They accepted acculturation as necessary for coexistence with foreigners. The industrial northeast portion of the US attracted the majority of Slovak immigrants, especially Pennsylvania. Slovak leaders won official government recognition as a distinct ethnic group and hoped it would help their people to preserve their ethnic identity.

*Pastor, Peter. Hungary between Wilson and Lenin: The Hungarian Revolution of 1918-1919 and the Big Three. Boulder: East European Quarterly, 1976.  Butler  DB955 .P35

                        The book provides a detailed study of the relations of Hungary and the Big Three since the life of the Karolyi government depended on the disposition of the great powers. The democratic ideals of Wilson, and his calls for new diplomacy and internationalism were embraced by Hungarian revolutionaries. Racial prejudices, anti-Magyarism and anti-Semitism of many of the diplomats contributed to the Allies’ unfriendly attitude toward Hungary. The reorganization of Hungarian foreign policy toward Russia was an implicit part of Karolyi’s policy. The recognition by the Allies of the government run by Admiral Horthy was seen as the last example of the betrayal of the ideas of Wilson. The Horthy leadership’s refusal to accept the Treaty at Trianon from the moment it was signed doomed all hopes for international stability in East Central Europe.

Lanham, Md.: American University Press, 1995.  Lehman  DJK49 .E17 1995 nos

            Eastern Europe, a label applied to the lands situated between the German and Italian speaking region in the West and the Russian-Ukrainian-Belarus region in the east, is a term that is not accepted and is even resented by those who live there. They consider themselves to live geographically in Central Europe or Southeastern Europe and culturally to belong to the West. Yet, in the West, they are considered to be Eastern Europeans. During the Cold War, this neglect of the more than 130 million people who live in the region became even worse: they were considered nothing more than satellites of the Soviet Union, incapable of deciding their own fate just as they had been in the earlier part of the century when they followed Germany’s lead.

The end of the Cold War, the collapse both of the Soviet Union and of communist parties around the globe, and the end of communist rule in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet rule in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet empire spurred a deeper and more prolonged interest in these people and countries and it was the interest that prompted this volume. This book is not designed for experts, but for those who would like to know why the people of this region behave as they do since gaining their independence, and why nationalism has replaced communism as the major force dictating their behavior.

This book is a collection of the articles dedicated to nationalism in different countries of that region. The articles are: “Albanian Nationalism in the Twentieth Century”; “The Course and Discourses of Bulgarian Nationalism“; ”Czech and Slovak Nationalism in the Twentieth century”; “Hellenism and the Modern Greeks”; “Nation , National Minorities, and Nationalism in Twentieth-Century Hungary”; “The Poles and the Search for a National Homeland”; “Romanian Nationalism: An Ideology of Integration and Mobilization”; “The Yugoslav Peoples”; “Nationalism, The Victorious Ideology.”

Bock-Luna, Birgit.   The Past in Exile: Serbian Long-Distance Nationalism and Identity in the Wake of the Third Balkan War. Berlin : Lit, 2007.  Lehman  E184.S5 B635 2007g

            In this book of identity politics, memory and long-distance nationalism among Serbian migrants in California, the author examines the complicated ways in which visions of the past are used to form Diaspora subjects and make claims to the homeland in the present. The author is interested in how the Yugoslav disintegration influenced political practices as well as discourses on national and personal identity, nationalism, and memory in exile. The book is not about migration or Yugoslavia, Serbia, and the wars of disintegration, but these issues are touched upon when they are relevant for the interlocutors who participated in the research.

People’s history projects can be a potent force for sustaining a vision of social change. History can empower people, it can be used to teach people that the social, political, economic and cultural institutions are the products of human agency and historical choices. Seeing how historical individuals made and remade social life, we can gain a new vision of our present and future.

            An anthology of some of the papers presented at a conference that took place at Columbia University’s East Central European Center and the Harriman Institute on February 26-27, 1999. At the conference, Rajan Menon, Glenda Rosenthal, Elizabeth Valkenier, Stanislaw Wellisz, and the author John Micgiel, chaired panels. Issues addressed include: identity, Western influences, the political economy of transformation, institution-building, and institutionalism, and new paradigms of wealth and culture. Daniel Cordes discusses communitarian arguments for the division of a multinational state. Gabriel Topor addresses the question as to why violent ethnic conflict take place after the collapse of Communism in the ex-Yugoslavia, but not in Romania. Four essays address the theme of the role and influence of the West on democratizing countries. Three other papers address the political economy of the transformation. Some articles also discuss new paradigms of wealth and culture. Many other topics are also included.

The tragedy of Yugoslavia, the breakup of Czecho-Slovakia and the persistence of national minority problems in East Central Europe (the Hungarians in Romania and Slovakia, the Poles in Lithuania, or the Turks in Bulgaria comprise only a partial list), raise the fundamental question of the stability of East Central Europe. It is the second time in the twentieth century that this region has emerged as truly independent: after the First World War and today, after the collapse of communism. It is no wonder that parallels are being drawn, linking criticism of present conditions with a critique of Wilsonian East Europe based on the principles of national self-determination and democracy.
