| Abstract | The festivals of German immigrants and their descendants provide insights into ethnic memory. "German migrants shaped a common memory of their country of origin and later of their history in the country of migration via their festivals. . . which they adapted according to the needs of the second and third generations. Their cultural memory remained alive until at least 1914 because of continuing migration and because of increased travels back to Germany, which created a transnational space and which allowed a dialogue not only with Anglo-American festivals but also with festivals and traditions in Germany." |
