Book excerpt: Jonathan Wagner considers why Germans left their home country, why they chose to settle in Canada, who assisted their passage, and how they crossed the ocean to their new home, as well as how the Canadian government perceived and solicited them as immigrants.

Download or read book Die deutsche Pr senz in den USA written by Josef Raab and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas the cultural and political influence of the U.S. on Europe and Germany has been researched extensively, the impact of more than 6 million German immigrants on U.S.-American history and culture has received far less scholarly attention. Therefore this volume addresses a wide range of areas in which a German presence has been manifesting itself in the U.S. for more than three centuries. Among the disciplines involved in this broad analysis are linguistics, literary studies, history, economics, musicology as well as media studies and cultural studies.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Fortzug von Untertanen und Landsleuten aus dem Herzogtum Braunschweig fuehrte zu einer Vielzahl von Reaktionen nicht nur auf politischer Ebene sondern auch in der breiten �ffentlichkeit. Dies zeigt, da� das Interesse an dem Ph�nomen �Auswanderung� gro� war. Deshalb galt es im einzelnen zu hinterfragen: Welche Zielvorstellungen lagen der �amtlichen Politik� und der jeweiligen ��ffentlichen Meinung� in der Auswanderungsfrage zugrunde? Welche Wandlungen waren festzustellen und worauf waren diese zurueckzufuehren? Die sorgf�ltig recherchierte Untersuchung stuetzt sich auf ein vielf�ltiges und aussagekr�ftiges Quellenmaterial aus den Akten der verschiedenen an der Auswanderung beteiligten Beh�rden und auf Auswanderungsschriften, Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenartikel, Tagebuecher und Briefe. Neben Zeitzeugnissen aus der Durchschnittsbev�lkerung handelt es sich hierbei unter anderem auch um Dokumente des Koloniegruenders Hermann Blumenau, des Reiseschriftstellers Friedrich Gerst�cker und der Klaviermacherfamilie Steinway. "�eine wahre Enzyklop�die der Auswanderung aus dem Herzogtum Braunschweig ueber fast 200 Jahre. Es ist fast unm�glich, eine vernuenftige Frage zum Thema zu finden, auf die es hier keine Antwort g�be � eine ungew�hnlich solide, erstaunlich detaillierte, ungemein umfassende und au�erordentlich nuetzliche Darstellung."

Download or read book Constructing a German Diaspora written by Stefan Manz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes on a global perspective to unravel the complex relationship between Imperial Germany and its diaspora. Around 1900, German-speakers living abroad were tied into global power-political aspirations. They were represented as outposts of a "Greater German Empire" whose ethnic links had to be preserved for their own and the fatherland’s benefits. Did these ideas fall on fertile ground abroad? In the light of extreme social, political, and religious heterogeneity, diaspora construction did not redeem the all-encompassing fantasies of its engineers. But it certainly was at work, as nationalism "went global" in many German ethnic communities. Three thematic areas are taken as examples to illustrate the emergence of globally operating organizations and communication flows: Politics and the navy issue, Protestantism, and German schools abroad as "bulwarks of language preservation." The public negotiation of these issues is explored for localities as diverse as Shanghai, Cape Town, Blumenau in Brazil, Melbourne, Glasgow, the Upper Midwest in the United States, and the Volga Basin in Russia. The mobilisation of ethno-national diasporas is also a feature of modern-day globalization. The theoretical ramifications analysed in the book are as poignant today as they were for the nineteenth century.
Download or read book Exiting war written by Romain Fathi and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exiting war explores a particular 1918–20 ‘moment’ in the British Empire’s history, between the First World War’s armistices of 1918, and the peace treaties of 1919 and 1920. That moment, we argue, was a challenging and transformative time for the Empire. While British authorities successfully answered some of the post-war tests they faced, such as demobilisation, repatriation, and fighting the widespread effects of the Spanish flu, the racial, social, political and economic hallmarks of their imperialism set the scene for a wide range of expressions of loyalties and disloyalties, and anticolonial movements. The book documents and conceptualises this 1918–20 ‘moment’ and its characteristics as a crucial three-year period of transformation for and within the Empire, examining these years for the significant shifts in the imperial relationship that occurred and as laying the foundation for later change in the imperial system.

Download or read book Unity Is Strength written by Markus Bierkoch and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-12-02 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration has been one of the most pressing societal issues throughout history. Immigrant associations play a crucial role in understanding this phenomenon. They channel migration streams, influence the assimilation of their members, and serve as representatives of the entire immigrant group in society. However, they remain an understudied subject, particularly in historical research. To address this gap, this study examines German immigrant associations in New York from the 1890s to the 1930s. Through an innovative combination of statistical and textual analyses, it explores the class composition of these associations, their intricate system of mutual aid, and their political activities. This study offers insights into how specific socio-economic motivations influenced immigrant organization and collective action, including aspects such as long-distance nationalism and cross-border ethnic identity. Ultimately, based on these findings, this study demonstrates that immigrant associations played a crucial role in helping their members adapt to a new social and economic environment. Additionally, it shows why and how immigrant associations significantly shaped the image of German immigrants in American social and political life.
Download or read book People in Transit written by Dirk Hoerder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demographic shockwaves of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe produced tremendous change in the national economies and affected the political, social, and cultural development of these societies. Migration historians have begun to connect the various European migratory streams during this period with transcontinental migration to North America. This volume contains empirical studies on German in-migration, internal migration, and transatlantic emigration from the 1820s to the 1930s, placed in a comparative perspective of Polish, Swedish, and Irish migration to North America. Special emphasis is placed on the role of women in the process of migration. By looking specifically at postwar Germany, Klaus J. Bade underscores the relevance of this history in a concluding essay.

Download or read book Anticipating Total War written by Manfred F. Boemeke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-03-28 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Anticipating Total War explore the discourse on war in Germany and the United States between 1871 and 1914. The concept of "total war" provides the analytical focus. The essays reveal vigorous discussions of warfare in several forums among soldiers, statesmen, women's groups, and educators on both sides of the Atlantic. Predictions of long, cataclysmic wars were not uncommon in these discussions, while the involvement of German and American soldiers in colonial warfare suggested that future combat would not spare civilians. Despite these "anticipations of total war," virtually no one realized the practical implications in planning for war in the early twentieth century.
