Extractions: SOSC 27001/HIST 27902/HIST 37902/MAPS 48500/GNDR 27001 Course Description This course explores, in a comparative context, the ways that ethnic identity and gender have combined to affect three key elements in the history of Asian Americans: immigration and refugee laws, the exploitation of political issues, and community activism. As unacceptable aliens, first the Chinese and then Asian Americans in general were subjected to the first U.S. legislation ever to restrict immigration on the basis of ethnic identity. As Asians were responding to the end of exclusion, Cold War conflicts like the Korean War and Vietnam War brought new waves of immigrants and refugees from the region. Throughout such changes, Asian Americans have engaged in both direct and indirect action to fight against discriminatory legislation and work for passage of more equitable replacements. Beyond the question of who could legally enter the country, Asian American have also faced myriad laws designed to restrict their freedom. From the foreign miners taxes and cubic air laws of the nineteenth century's second half to the prohibitions against land ownership and miscegenation that characterized the first half of the twentieth, Asian Americans sought judicial and legislative redress with great determination. Whether faced with Dennis Kearney's "The Chinese Must Go!" rhetoric, the hysteria that produced Japanese relocation camps, or the racism that imprisoned Dr. Wen Ho Lee, the Asian American community has established an extensive record of successful resistance.

H102 Lecture 08: Foreign Immigrants In Industrial America american history 102. Immigrants from Europe were not the only new faces to arrive on the urban and industrial scene around the turn of the century. http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture08.html
Extractions: While conditions in nineteenth-century Europe worsened for millions of its inhabitants, the United States entered a period of incredible prosperity. Millions of Europeans who suffered through the Industrial Revolution, economic depressions, and crushing famines, began to envision America as a land of unbounded opportunity. Unfortunately, the unprecedented economic turmoil that periodically swept the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century often dashed European dreams of gold-paved streets and free land. Furthermore, many Americans who sought scapegoats for the nation's festering economic and social problems pointed to the immigrants as the source of their problems. Some questions to keep in mind: Why did so many Europeans choose to migrate to the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? How did immigration transform American society and culture? How did Americans react to immigration?

Extractions: EUROPEAN EMIGRATION Swedish emigration to America is rather typical for European emigration westward to America during the 19th century. Therefore, we have elected to present the background of the Swedish emigration at that time. Painting "The Emigrants" by Swedish artist Knut Ekwall, (1843-1912). This painting depicts the artist's vision of what the Atlantic crossings could be like for the immigrants.

A Review of Swedish Emigration to America The history of Swedish emigration to America goes further back in time than that of the United States. Swedes started to come in 1638, just eighteen years after the landing of the "MAYFLOWER." The tidal wave of Swedish emigration began in the mid 1840s, when the first organized emigrant groups started to arrive in New York. These farmers destined to Iowa and Illinois were followed during the period up to 1930 by almost 1.3 million countrymen. The Swedes still rank number seven among the European immigrant groups. In proportion to the population of their home countries, only the British Isles and Norway surpassed Sweden in the number of immigrants. The effect of this exodus from Sweden reached its climax around 1910, when 1.4 million Swedish first and second generation immigrants were listed as living in the U.S. Compare this to Sweden's population at the time: 5.5 million. Roughly one fifth of all Swedes had their homes in America right before World War I !

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Thirteen A Nation of Immigrants (15/16) Previous Page Next Page By the time American independence was declared in 1776, two-fifths of all settlers were of non-English origin. The first U.S. census, taken in 1790, revealed a population of just under four million people, with about 10,000 new settlers arriving each year. When the U.S. government began keeping records of arriving passengers in 1820, the majority of immigrants were from Northern Europe; by the end of the 19th century, they came largely from Southern and Eastern Europe. Today, the majority arrive from Latin America and Asia. Their reasons for coming, however opportunity and freedom remain unchanged. Previous Page Next Page
