DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Our Greek Immigrants Greeks are a comparatively recent addition to the complex stream of American life. In 1848 only one Greek arrived in New York. Ten years later there were two. At the close of the Civil War there were less than 100 Greeks in the United States. In 1886 our Consul to Greece reported that there was no emigration from Greece. In 1900 the total number of Greeks amongst us was about equal to the number that Xenophon led in his famous "Anabasis." In a decade this number increased tenfold. In the single year 1914 we received 35,832. There are twice as many Greeks in America as there are in Athens. From ancient days the Greeks have been free, venturesome, seafaring men - bold colonizers whose national epic was a story of cruise and maritime adventure. To this natural wanderlust there was added the economic motive in 1891, when the failure of the currant market struck at the heart of this national industry. That year registered an increase in the number of Greeks seeking fortunes in this new land. In contrast to the Hungarian, Polish and early German immigration, the Greek never left home on account of political oppression or religious persecution.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe United States is truly a nation of immigrants, or as the poet Walt Whitman once said, a nation of nations. Spanning the time from when the Europeans first came to the New World to the present day, the new Immigration to the United States set conveys the excitement of these stories to young people. Beginning with a brief preface to the set written by general editor Robert Asher that discusses some of the broad reasons why people came to the New World, both as explorers and settlers, each book's narrative highlights the themes, people, places, and events that were important to each immigrant group. In an engaging, informative manner, each volume describes what members of a particular group found when they arrived in the United States as well as where they settled. Historical information and background on the various communities present life as it was lived at the time they arrived. The books then trace the group's history and current status in the United States. Each volume includes photographs and illustrations such as passports and other artifacts of immigration, as well as quotes from original source materials. Box features highlight special topics or people, and each book is rounded out with a glossary, timeline, further reading list, and index.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Greek Immigration to the United States This work was prepared as a part of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in connection with the Department of Anthropology in Yale University. The effort was made to secure for it the merit which attaches to a scientific production, and in so far as this effort has been successful it is in large measure due to the scholarly atmosphere in which the work was done. It was also carried on under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. To it I am deeply indebted for financial assistance, without which the work must have been much more limited in scope. Inasmuch as the book is based almost wholly on personal investigation, I am aware that it is open to the inaccuracies which beset that kind of a study. I have selected my sources of information with the greatest care, and have taken pains to avoid making any positive statements unless I was myself convinced of the truth of them; yet there are undoubtedly errors due to faulty judgment. My hope is that on the whole my opinions and conclusions are not too widely at variance with those which a complete knowledge of all the facts would justify. The same causes have necessitated the frequent use of the first personal pronoun, which is undesirable but unavoidable. In some cases I have felt compelled to suppress the exact identity of my informants, as their position and the nature of the information furnished by them have been such as to lead them to request expressly that their names should not be mentioned.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWritten by a descendent of Greek immigrants, this book explores the stories behind leaving the mountains and islands of Greece throughout its recent tumultuous history. Many of those emigrants came to the sprawling cities and countryside of the United States. This book explores how Greek Americans did much to overcome war, family conflicts, exploitative labor practices, restrictive xenophobic quotas, and generational identity differences to become part of the American experiment. The history of how Greeks became Americans through these contemplations of the problems that immigration poses will activate the reader's critical thinking skills. They will recognize that these problems are relevant today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA compelling account of the intersection of globalization and neo-racism in a rural Greek community, this book describes the contradictory political and economic development of the Greek countryside since its incorporation into the European Union, where increased prosperity and social liberalization have been accompanied by the creation of a vulnerable and marginalized class of immigrant laborers. The author analyzes the paradoxical resurgence of ethnic nationalism and neo-racism that has grown in the wake of European unification and addresses key issues of racism, neoliberalism and nationalism in contemporary anthropology.
