The Welsh in Metro America
Respectability and Assimilation in San Francisco, Seattle, Columbus, and Milwaukee, 1870–1930
Description
Through a consideration of settlement patterns, economic activity, language use, and cultural and religious institutions, The Welsh in Metro America provides a micro study of four Welsh immigrant communities in urban America. This book endeavors to understand the strength and long-term viability of these communities and the ways in which they changed by analyzing the forces that enabled Welsh immigrants and their children to so rapidly become Welsh Americans and, ultimately, to almost seamlessly enter the mainstream world of white, English-speaking, Protestant America.
