| Abstract | This study examines both the social and economic structure of the German community of Philadelphia, and its culture and self-identification--as well as the ways these interacted with one another and changed over time. . . . [Kazal] takes on a somewhat later time segment than most census-based studies, beginning only with the waning of mass immigration at the turn of the twentieth century, and spanning the crucial era of World War I and its aftermath, down into the 1930s. . . . This study focuses particularly on four ethnic subcultures (middle class Vereinsdeutsche, working class socialists, Lutherans, and Catholics), each of which followed a somewhat distinctive path into a different part of the American mainstream. |
