Download or read book Greeks in Houston written by Irene Cassis and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of the Greeks in Houston is really the story of individuals who worked diligently to forge new lives for themselves even as they maintained their Greek identity and their Orthodox faith. The efforts of many of the founders are immortalized in the buildings that constitute the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral complex. Their names remind us of their hard work and commitment to establishing their koinonia (communion) in Houston. There are many other names that have gone unremarked over the decades but to whom we owe just as much for their tenacity and dedication. And there are the new generations who inherited this legacy and keep it vibrant through the stewardship of their faith and culture.

Download or read book Ethnic Identification written by Donna Misner Collins and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigating between the shoals of assimilation and acculturation, Dr Collins finds in the Greek community of Houston a group that has been less affected by the host community than sociologists insist happens, and in turn only marginally impressing its ways on the Americans around it. This strong sense of community derives not so much from continued contacts with Greece, but from shared cultural features within the ethnic group itself - language, religion, marriage structures, festivals, etc. These findings support the view of a pluralistic society in America rather than the long prevalent assimilationist view which holds that immigrants automatically mix and lose much of their ethnic identity: the melting-pot theory. This study proposes that Greek-Americans in the society examined are not so much trying to be more American but less Greek in certain respects: e.g., community provincialism and narrowmindedness. The study is supported by illustrations, notes, appendices (including a Greek glossary), bibliography and index.

Download or read book Victory Without Peace written by William N Still and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victory Without Peace concentrates on the U.S. Navy in European and Near Eastern waters during the post-World War I era. As participants in the Versailles peace negotiations, the Navy was charged with executing the naval terms of the Armistice as well as preserving stability and peace. U.S. warships were deploying into the Near East, Baltic, Adriatic, and Northern Europe, while simultaneously withdrawing its demobilized forces from European waters. This signifies the first time the U.S. Navy contributed to peacetime efforts, setting a precedent continues today. Conversely, Congressional appropriations handicapped this deployment by demobilization, general naval policy and postwar personnel, and operating funds reductions. Though reluctant to allocate postwar assets into seemingly unimportant European and Near Eastern waters, the Navy was pressured by the State Department and the American Relief Administration's leader, Herbert Hoover, to deploy necessary forces. Most of these were withdrawn by 1924 and the European Station assumed the traditional policy of showing the flag.

Download or read book Religion and the New Immigrants written by Helen Rose Fuchs Ebaugh and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New immigrants_those arriving since the Immigration Reform Act of 1965_have forever altered American culture and have been profoundly altered in turn. Although the religious congregations they form are often a nexus of their negotiation between the old and new, they have received little scholarly attention. Religion and the New Immigrants fills this gap. Growing out of the carefully designed Religion, Ethnicity and the New Immigration Research project, Religion and the New Immigrants combines in-depth studies of thirteen congregations in the Houston area with seven thematic essays looking across their diversity. The congregations range from Vietnamese Buddhist to Greek Orthodox, a Zoroastrian center to a multi-ethnic Assembly of God, presenting an astonishing array of ethnicity and religious practice. Common research questions and the common location of the congregations give the volume a unique comparative focus. Religion and the New Immigrants is an essential reference for scholars of immigration, ethnicity, and American religion.
