Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Retrieved from under a thatched roof in Denmark, long-forgotten letters inspire this illustrated account of the Danish-American immigrant community's history, heritage and grit. One letter, written on board [of] the ship bringing a young family to America in 1928, tells what the voyage was really like. Other letters give firsthand accounts of life in Denmark and America. Letters from the Great Depression lament hopes dashed by broken economics on both sides of the Atlantic. Trials and triumphs of World War II are recalled, including Denmark's finest hour in 1943. Over here, immigrants sent their sons and daughters to war while joining hands to relieve post-war suffering over there. After fulling embracing the American way of life, one immigrant offers a touching tribute to all who ventured to America from their homeland. This book concludes with his rendition, in verse, of Hans Christian Anderson's Tin Soldier fairy tale, and four Scandinavian songs of faith."--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Foreign Relations written by Donna R. Gabaccia and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histories investigating U.S. immigration have often portrayed America as a domestic melting pot, merging together those who arrive on its shores. Yet this is not a truly accurate depiction of the nation's complex connections to immigration. Offering a brand-new global history of the subject, Foreign Relations takes a comprehensive look at the links between American immigration and U.S. foreign relations. Donna Gabaccia examines America’s relationship to immigration and its debates through the prism of the nation’s changing foreign policy over the past two centuries. She shows that immigrants were not isolationists who cut ties to their countries of origin or their families. Instead, their relations to America were often in flux and dependent on government policies of the time. An innovative history of U.S. immigration, Foreign Relations casts a fresh eye on a compelling and controversial topic.

Download or read book Epistolary Selves written by Rebecca Earle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of ten essays discusses the pivotal role that letters have played in social, economic and political history from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. The recent scholarly interest in the history of reading has as yet yielded few studies which consider letters as a category of readable material. The contributors to this book seek to redress this oversight, viewing letters as texts which can reveal information, not only about their writers and readers, but about the wider historical context in which they were written. Topics covered include the mercantile letter, diplomatic correspondence, and what these epistolary forms suggest about the rise of a polite, literate culture in the eighteenth century; the experience of immigration from Europe to America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the relationship through the letter; and the working of gender in the epistolary form. Rebecca Earle provides an overview of how the study of letter-writing can open up new avenues of historical as well as literary investigation. This, together with contributions form leading international scholars, makes Epistolary Selves an essential text for those researching the letter genre.
