Synopsis

In Transplanted Traditions, Robert Ezra Park examines how immigrant groups preserve heritage while integrating into American democracy.

The book argues that letting newcomers connect old and new experiences helps them grow, rather than forcing abrupt, punitive assimilation. This edition explores how communities stay intact—through shared customs, language, and networks—while engaging with American life. It looks at the daily realities of immigrant life, from family expectations to economic and social pressures, and the ways contact with the broader society shapes growth on both sides.

• How groups maintain memory and culture without losing touch with new surroundings
• The role of social ties, community leaders, and local networks in adaptation
• Balancing preservation with participation in democracy and civic life
• The practical effects of assimilation on identity, work, and family norms

Ideal for readers curious about immigration, cultural heritage, and how diverse communities navigate belonging in a democratic society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The material in this volume was gathered by the Division of Treatment of Immigrant Heritages of Studies in Methods of A mericanization. Americanization in these studies has been considered as the union of native and foreign born in all the most fundamental relationships and activities of our national life. For Americanization is the uniting of new with native-born Americans in fuller common understanding and appreciation to secure by means of individual and collective self-direction the highest welfare of all. Such Americanization should perpetuate no unchangeable political, domestic, and economic regime delivered once for all to the fathers, but a growing and broadening national life, inclusive of the best wherever found. With all our rich heritages, Americanism will develop best through a mutual giving and taking of contributions from both newer and older Americans in the interest of the commonweal. These studios have followed such an understanding of A mericanization.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
