Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Americanization The recent flood of literature upon the subject of Americanization would seem to justify a more or less critical analysis of purposes and methods of the Americanization movement. In the interest of the effectiveness of this movement such an analysis is peculiarly the task of the foreign-born who, through decades, have felt the influences of American institutions and who have accepted American methods of living and thinking as their own. The following pages attempt in broad outline to reflect the point of view of the writer´s twenty years of conscientious effort to understand the social and political life of the country of his adoption and to fashion his mode of life in harmony with those traditional standards of American life that distinguish it from the peoples of Europe. As a social worker and as Chairman of the Minnesota State Committee on Americanization the writer has also had rather unusual opportunities to observe the methods and effects of the Americanization movement upon both native and foreign groups. In giving this booklet to the public, the writer is aware of its sketchy character and limited scientific background. Its main value lies in the fact that it represents a point of view developed through two decades of self-Americanization and of more than a decade of modest effort in the promotion of movements for the Americanization of others.
