| Abstract | The author analyzes German-American fiction in order to present us with new insights into 1. the writers' self-perception and ethnic self-definition, 2. the changes in their ethnic self-definition, and 3. the economic, social, and psychological experiences of German-speaking immigrants in their new environment. To accomplish this task, she investigates over one hundred primary works, mostly in German, by more than sixty authors. Her study comprises three major sections, an extensive bibliography, and an index to the names of the writers treated in the study. The bibliography lists primary sources, secondary sources, bibliographies and reference materials, and magazines and newspapers. The work considers a wide scope of German-American novelists. It is laden with observations and conclusions that open several new avenues of research. |
