Download or read book Norwegian American Ethnicity and Ethnic Clothing Textiles and Household Objects written by Mary Ann Jacobsen and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigates relations among Norwegian-American ethnicity, ownership of ethnic articles, and selected other factors. Articles include clothing, textiles, and certain household objects. Hypotheses were drawn predicting relations between ethnic article ownership and ethnicity as expressed by ethnic practices and attitudes, and between ethnic article ownership and generation in America (first as compared to second and second as compared to third), travel to the mother country, communication with relatives, marital status (endogamy as compared to exogamy), educational level, and social class level. Measures used were developed for the study. Data were collected by means of questionnaires mailed to a selected sample of married women of Norwegian descent or whose husbands were of Norwegian descent, and were analyzed for statistical significance by means of simple correlation and the Behrens-Fisher test. Ethnic article ownership was found to be significantly related to ethnicity as expressed by ethnic practices, and to generation in America (first as compared to second), travel to the mother country, and communication with relatives. No significant relations were found to obtain in the cases of ethnicity as expressed by ethnic attitudes, or of generation in America (second as compared to third), marital status (endogamy as compared to exogamy), educational level, and social class level.

Download or read book Norwegians in Wisconsin written by Richard J. Fapso and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This perennially popular book, now revised and expanded with additional historical photos and documents, offers a concise introduction to Wisconsin's Norwegian immigrants. The narrative examines the mass migration of Norwegians from 1837, when Ole Nattestad became the first Norwegian settler in Wisconsin, to the late nineteenth century, when Norwegian immigration largely came to a close. This volume demonstrates the efforts of immigrants to balance newfound American customs with the most treasured traditions of their homeland. New to this edition are selected letters of Ole Munch Ræder, a scholar sent by the Norwegian government in 1847 to study the American legal system. Ræder visited several Wisconsin cities and villiages and paid special attention to the Norwegian community. His compelling accounts, which appeared in newspapers in Norway, offer a contemporary view of Norwegian life in Wisconsin.
