| Abstract | A comprehensive examination of the ways in which nine immigrant groups--Irish, Germans, Scandinavians, Eastern European Jews, Italians, Poles, Hungarians, Chinese, and Mexicans--responded to their new lives in the United States through music. Each group's songs disclose an abiding concern over leaving their loved ones and homeland and an anxiety about adjusting to a new society. But accompanying these disturbing feelings was an excitement about the possibilities of becoming wealthy and about looking forward to a democratic and free society. |
