Présentation de l'éditeur
No critic, perhaps, will be so alive to the defects of this study as is the author, yet it is hoped that the book may have a value of its own. It is at least based upon first hand inquiry both in Europe and in A merica; and both are necessary. Acquaintance with any immigrant people in America only is not enough. The naturalist might as well study the habits of a lion in a menagerie or of a wild bird in a cage. To understand the immi grant we should know him in the conditions which have shaped him, and which he has shaped, in his own village and among his own people; we should study the culture of which he is a living part, but which he is for the most part powerless to transport with him to his new home. He must, however, be known also as he develops in America in an environment curiously and intricately blended of old and new elements. Convinced of this, I spent the greater part of the year 1905 in A ustria-H ungary, studying emigration on the spot, and over a year in visiting Slavic colonies in the United States, ranging from New York to Colorado, and from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Galveston. California was unfortunately not reached. One autumn was spent as a boarder in the family of a Bohemian workingman in New York City. Everywhere in Europe and this country, whether or not furnished with letters of introduction, I found Slavs of all classes and kinds ready to show me kindness and lend me intelligent and cordial assistance.

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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history and motivations behind Slavic immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, through extensive firsthand research in both Europe and America, delves into the unique circumstances that drove individuals from various Slavic nationalities ââ â including Poles, Slovaks, Croatians, and Ruthenians ââ â to leave their homeland and seek a new life in the United States. The book examines the social, economic, and political conditions that shaped Slavic emigration, highlighting the unique challenges faced by these immigrants due to their diverse languages, religions, and historical experiences. It delves into the political divisions within the Slavic world, particularly the complex situation in Austria-Hungary, which served as the primary source of Slavic immigration to the United States. The author underscores the intricate interplay of nationality, language, and culture within the Slavic communities, highlighting their distinct identities and the internal divisions that often complicated their experiences. The book provides invaluable insights into the factors that shaped Slavic emigration and the lives of these immigrants in America, offering a compelling understanding of this significant migration that continues to shape the United States today.
