Download or read book Old Russian Ways written by Richard A. Morris and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about boundary maintenance among three ethnic Russian groups living in Oregon - the smaller Molokan and Russian Pentecostal groups and the much larger Old Believers. While the three groups interact for mutual benefit, they zealously guard the boundaries of religion, customs, dress, food restrictions, concepts of sacred and profane, language, patterns of authority and life crisis events. Comparative reference is also made to Russian cultural traditions as described in the literature on peasant Russia of the 18th and 19th centuries. While casting the three groups in perspective with each other, they are also shown against the larger host society in which they live.

Book excerpt: "The United States has experienced, since the mid-60's, a new wave of immigration comparable in importance to the mass migration of the turn of the century. It is a significant population influx which, as its predecessor, will shape the character of the country in the future. However, the more recent arrivals are very different from the "huddled masses" who came to this country in the early part of this century and the society receiving them has also undergone significant transformations. Yet, images of immigrants and the concepts used to evoke their encounter with the new environment have remained very much the same. The present work attempts to provide a different approach to the study of the immigrants' response to this encounter by looking at their process of transformation from immigrants to ethnics."--Introduction.

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.
