Download or read book Indianapolis written by M. Teresa Baer and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2012 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The booklet opens with the Delaware Indians prior to 1818. White Americans quickly replaced the natives. Germanic people arrived during the mid-nineteenth century. African American indentured servants and free blacks migrated to Indianapolis. After the Civil War, southern blacks poured into the city. Fleeing war and political unrest, thousands of eastern and southern Europeans came to Indianapolis. Anti-immigration laws slowed immigration until World War II. Afterward, the city welcomed students and professionals from Asia and the Middle East and refugees from war-torn countries such as Vietnam and poor countries such as Mexico. Today, immigrants make Indianapolis more diverse and culturally rich than ever before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immigrants and Their Children, 1920, Vol. 7: A Study Based on Census Statistics Relative to the Foreign Born and the Native White of Foreign or Mixed Parentage When modern censuses began, the enumeration unit was the family or household, and the population was determined from the number of households and the number of persons in each. But for two generations the enumeration unit has been the individual, to whom a line on the schedule or a separate card or sheet is devoted and about whose characteristics many questions are asked. The answers state physical traits, like sex, age, and race; educational traits, like illiteracy or ability to speak English; and economic traits, like occupation or ownership of the home. Most of the tables which result from assembling the answers to these questions are necessarily underlain by the idea that the individual is, at least for census purposes, the unit out of which society or the State is constructed. More recently this one-sided individualism of the census tabulation has been supplemented by special studies of certain social groups. This began with the volume on Indians in the United States, which was a part of the census of 1890, and which was suggested, if not made necessary, by the fact that the Indians on reservations were then enumerated for the first time and apart from the general population census. The tendency was continued at the census of 1900 by supplementary studies of the census statistics of the negro and the negro farmer, of the family, and of teachers as an occupational class. The census of 1910 was left incomplete through the exhaustion of the appropriation and the only elaborate study of a social group which resulted from it was one on the negroes in the United States. For the census of 1920 a series of supplementary monographs was planned, some of which at least will be of the type described. The present study dealing with the foreign-born population and their American-born children is one of them. The group which Doctor Carpenter studies is very heterogeneous. In fact, our foreign-born population is a class the members of which have only one common characteristic and that a negative one, namely, that its members were not born in the United States. This heterogeneity has proved a serious obstacle to the analysis of the group. Indeed no conclusion stands out on the following pages more clearly than this, that little significant study of the statistics of the foreign born can be made until they are divided into more homogeneous groups by classifying them according to the country or district of birth.

Download or read book The New Americans written by Panel on the Demographic and Economic Impacts of Immigration and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-28 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on one of the most controversial issues of the decade. It identifies the economic gains and losses from immigration--for the nation, states, and local areas--and provides a foundation for public discussion and policymaking. Three key questions are explored: What is the influence of immigration on the overall economy, especially national and regional labor markets? What are the overall effects of immigration on federal, state, and local government budgets? What effects will immigration have on the future size and makeup of the nation's population over the next 50 years? The New Americans examines what immigrants gain by coming to the United States and what they contribute to the country, the skills of immigrants and those of native-born Americans, the experiences of immigrant women and other groups, and much more. It offers examples of how to measure the impact of immigration on government revenues and expenditures--estimating one year's fiscal impact in California, New Jersey, and the United States and projecting the long-run fiscal effects on government revenues and expenditures. Also included is background information on immigration policies and practices and data on where immigrants come from, what they do in America, and how they will change the nation's social fabric in the decades to come.
Download or read book The Weeping Time written by Anne C. Bailey and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1859, at the largest recorded slave auction in American history, over 400 men, women, and children were sold by the Butler Plantation estates. This book is one of the first to analyze the operation of this auction and trace the lives of slaves before, during, and after their sale. Immersing herself in the personal papers of the Butlers, accounts from journalists that witnessed the auction, genealogical records, and oral histories, Anne C. Bailey weaves together a narrative that brings the auction to life. Demonstrating the resilience of African American families, she includes interviews from the living descendants of slaves sold on the auction block, showing how the memories of slavery have shaped people's lives today. Using the auction as the focal point, The Weeping Time is a compelling and nuanced narrative of one of the most pivotal eras in American history, and how its legacy persists today.

Download or read book The Good Immigrants written by Madeline Y. Hsu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventionally, US immigration history has been understood through the lens of restriction and those who have been barred from getting in. In contrast, The Good Immigrants considers immigration from the perspective of Chinese elites—intellectuals, businessmen, and students—who gained entrance because of immigration exemptions. Exploring a century of Chinese migrations, Madeline Hsu looks at how the model minority characteristics of many Asian Americans resulted from US policies that screened for those with the highest credentials in the most employable fields, enhancing American economic competitiveness. The earliest US immigration restrictions targeted Chinese people but exempted students as well as individuals who might extend America's influence in China. Western-educated Chinese such as Madame Chiang Kai-shek became symbols of the US impact on China, even as they patriotically advocated for China's modernization. World War II and the rise of communism transformed Chinese students abroad into refugees, and the Cold War magnified the importance of their talent and training. As a result, Congress legislated piecemeal legal measures to enable Chinese of good standing with professional skills to become citizens. Pressures mounted to reform American discriminatory immigration laws, culminating with the 1965 Immigration Act. Filled with narratives featuring such renowned Chinese immigrants as I. M. Pei, The Good Immigrants examines the shifts in immigration laws and perceptions of cultural traits that enabled Asians to remain in the United States as exemplary, productive Americans.

Download or read book Contented among Strangers written by Linda Schelbitzki Pickle and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German-Americans make up one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States, yet their very success at assimilating has also made them one of the least visible. Contented among Strangers examines the central role German-speaking women in rural areas of the Midwest played in preserving their ethnic and cultural identity. Even while living far from their original homelands, these women applied traditional European patterns of rural family life and values to their new homes in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. As a result they were more content with their modest lives than were their Anglo-American counterparts. Through personal recollections--including interesting diary material translated by the author, church and community documents, and migration and census data--Pickle reveals the diversity and richness of the women's experiences.
