This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of Armenian immigrants connects them to the American mainstream. The primary focus of the book is to reveal a kaleidoscope viewing time frames of their experiences in creating a new diaspora worldwide. Another primary motivation is to add further information about them. Drawing parallels between Armenians with other ethnic and racial groups is essential. The history of the Armenians goes back to antiquity when their coexistence for centuries was dominated by cogent empires. By the dawn of the twentieth century, the extirpation of Armenians and other ethnic groups was a policy of the Ottoman Turkish regimes. Those victims, who survived and others from earlier massacres in the 1890s, left their ancestral land. Subsequently, their plight was intertwined with the masses of immigrants from other lands seeking freedom and security. The Armenian experience is a manifestation of history, like other immigrants, which solidified them to the story of American civilization.

Book excerpt: Assimilation has been a contentious issues for most immigrant groups in the United States. The host society is assumed to lire immigrants and their descendants away from their ancestral heritage. Yet, in their quest for a "better" life, few immigrants intentionally forsake heir ethnic identity; most try to hold onto their culture by transplanting their traditional institutions and recreating new communities in America. Armenian-Americans are no exception. Armenian-Americans have been generally overlooked by census enumerators, survey analysts, and social scientists because of their small numbers and relative dispersion throughout the United States. They remain a little-studied group that has been called a "hidden minority." Armenian Americans fills this significant gap. Based on the results of an extensive mail questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and participant observation of communal gatherings, this book analyzed the individual and collective struggles of Armenian-Americans to perpetuate their Armenian legacy while actively seeking new pathways to the American Dream. This volume shows how men and women of Armenian descent become distanced from their ethnic origins with the passing of generations. Yet assimilation and maintenance of ethnic identity go hand-in-hand. The ascribed, unconscious, compulsive Armenianness of the immigrant generation is transformed into a voluntary, rational, situational Armenianness. The generational change is from being Armenian to feeling Armenian. The Armenian-American community has grown and prospered in this century. Greater tolerance of ethnic differences in the host society, the remarkable social mobility of many Armenian-Americans and the influx of large numbers of new immigrants from the Middle East and Soviet bloc in recent decades have contributed to this development. The future of this community, however, remains precarious as it strives to adjust to the ever changing social, economic, and political conditions affec

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jendian provides a snapshot of the oldest Armenian community in the western United States. His work explores the processes of assimilation and ethnicity across four generations and examines forms of ethnic identity and intermarriage. He examines four subprocesses of assimilation[¬"cultural, structural, marital, and identificational[¬"for patterns of change ( assimilation) and persistence ( ethnicity). Findings demonstrate the co-existence of assimilation and ethnicity. He offers assimilation and the retention of ethnicity as two, somewhat independent, processes. Assimilation is not a unilinear or zero-sum phenomenon, but rather multidimensional and multidirectional. Future research must understand the forms ethnicity takes for different generations of different groups while examining patterns of change and persistence for the fourth generation and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study begins with the arrival of young Armenian male students of American Protestant missionaries from the eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire, who attended universities on the East Coast in the early nineteenth century, and continues through a discussion of the generation of post 1915 Armenian Genocide immigrants who arrived in the United States prior to 1975. Many of these children and grandchildren of survivors were two or three-step migrants whose experiences with repeated migration facilitated their adaptation to a new language, customs, and surroundings by the time of their immigration to the United States. Armenians first established communities in multi-ethnic, working class neighborhoods in East Coast industrial cities including Worcester, Massachusetts, viii Syracuse, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island, and some later moved to work in factories in Racine, Wisconsin and Detroit, Michigan, but many eventually migrated to Fresno, California, where an Armenian community formed in the first decades of the twentieth century. The next generation of Armenian Americans moved from Fresno to San Francisco to obtain an education or work at the variety of jobs available in the city. Ultimately, Armenians in California outnumbered their predecessors on the East Coast, and Los Angeles became the home of most Armenians in California. Regardless of geographic location, Armenians contributed to their communities as Americans, while retaining many of their cultural traditions. This complex balancing of identities was shaped by their experiences with discrimination and exclusion, which at the same time created opportunities for inclusion in other spheres, such as business and education. Their common Christianity with most white Americans, their familiarity with American culture due to the presence of American Protestant missionaries, and their exposure to American relief workers after the Genocide also provided incentive for Armenians to immigrate to the United States. This study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the history of Armenian immigrants in the United States, the communities they established, and how they helped shape its diverse landscape.

Excerpt: Armenian Americans (Armenian: ) are Americans of Armenian origin. They form the second largest community in the Armenian diaspora after Armenians in Russia. The first major wave of Armenian immigration to the US took place in late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as Armenians fled the Hamidian massacres (1894-1896) and Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) that were taking place in the Ottoman Empire. Since the 1950s, Armenians from USSR, Turkey, Iran and Lebanon have migrated to America as a result of instability in those countries, and since the late 1980s, immigrants from Soviet Armenia could be found as well. Since the independence of Armenia from the Soviet Union in 1991 and the following war with neighboring Azerbaijan, additional Armenians fled to the US. The Armenian American community is the most politically influential community of the Armenian diaspora. Organizations such as Armenian National Committee of America and Armenian Assembly of America advocate for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the US government and support stronger Armenia-United States relations. AGBU is known for its financial support and promotion of Armenian cultural and Armenian language schools. The Armenian language (both the Eastern and mainly the Western dialects) is spoken in the US, especially in California, where most recent Armenian...
Download or read book Politics of Armenian Migration to North America 1885 1915 written by Gutman David Gutman and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of Armenian migration to North America in the late Ottoman period, and Istanbul's efforts to prevent it. It shows how, just as in the present, migrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were forced to travel through clandestine smuggling networks, frustrating the enforcement of the ban on migration. Further, migrants who attempted to return home from sojourns in North America risked debarment at the border and deportation, while the return of migrants who had naturalized as US citizens generated friction between the United States and Ottoman governments. The author sheds light on the relationship between the imperial state and its Armenian populations in the decades leading up to the Armenian genocide. He also places the Ottoman Empire squarely in the middle of global debates on migration, border control and restriction in this period, adding to our understanding of the global historical origins of contemporary immigration politics and other issues of relevance today in the Middle East region, such borders and frontiers, migrants and refugees, and ethno-religious minorities.

Download or read book The Magical Pine Ring written by Margaret Bedrosian and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Bedrosian's pioneering interdisciplinary study examines the continuing effect of Armenian history on Armenian-American writing. Using the work of ten Armenian-American poets and fiction and non-fiction writers, she shows the continuing impact on Armenian Americans of cultural symbols, myths, and attitudes carried over from the Old World, and explores the ways in which two cultures meet, conflict, and become integrated in the imagination. Through analysis of writers' actual or fictionalized experience, The Magical Pine Ring provides an understanding of the Armenians' specific concerns as Armenians and as immigrants, the effect of their self-awareness as Armenians on their adaptation to America, the typical and stereotypical situations and personalities that emerged with time, and the key values and beliefs that endured even as names were changed and assimilation blurred physical and social demeanor. Bedrosian also explores the directions Armenian-American writers have taken in portraying group history and the nature of their self-discovery as Armenian Americans. For the most part, this literature is not a direct outgrowth of the mainstream of Armenian literature. The relationship of the writer discussed here is one of spirit, of ancestral sympathies, burdens, and responsibilities. These writers register the pain of exile and alienation as they weave images of yearning and loss, celebration and futuristic vision into their writing. Through their crossroads identity in America, these writers add to our understanding of the Armenian diaspora.
