Norwegian Minds, American Dreams: Ethnic Activism Among Norwegian-American Intellectuals
Summary
The attitudes of Norwegian-American intellectuals toward their native and their adopted society is explored in Norwegian Minds -- American Dreams. The concept of ethnicity is analyzed in the historical and political context of the immigrant experience. Particular attention is given to the use of fictional literature in the struggle waged for the preservation of a distinct Norwegian-American ethnic identity. The study combines historical, literary, and social science analysis in its attempt to distill historically valuable information from the literary and political writings of immigrant intellectuals.
