| Abstract | Though it will never be possible to establish an exact number, scholars of the German-American press have estimated that about 5000 newspapers and periodicals have been published in German in the more than 300 years of German immigration to the United States. This collection of essays on various aspects of the German-American press shows clearly the role of that once vibrant and influential press in the process of acculturation of German immigrants on the one hand, and on the other, retention of some of the old institutions, most notably the German language. The essays are grouped into sections on Immigration Guides and the Early Press, the Issue of Religion in the German-American Press, Accommodation and Assimilation, the German-American Press as a Historical Resource, Ethnic Identity and the Rural Press, the German-American Press and the American Political Scene, the German Book Trade in America, and the German-American Press Today. |
