In fact, Forbes magazine boasts that immigrants dominate most of the Forbes 400 list. So what are the secrets?

Download or read book Emigrant Nation written by Mark I. Choate and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1880 and 1915, thirteen million Italians left their homeland, launching the largest emigration from any country in recorded world history. As the young Italian state struggled to adapt to the exodus, it pioneered the establishment of a “global nation”—an Italy abroad cemented by ties of culture, religion, ethnicity, and economics. In this wide-ranging work, Mark Choate examines the relationship between the Italian emigrants, their new communities, and their home country. The state maintained that emigrants were linked to Italy and to one another through a shared culture. Officials established a variety of programs to coordinate Italian communities worldwide. They fostered identity through schools, athletic groups, the Dante Alighieri Society, the Italian Geographic Society, the Catholic Church, Chambers of Commerce, and special banks to handle emigrant remittances. But the projects aimed at binding Italians together also raised intense debates over priorities and the emigrants’ best interests. Did encouraging loyalty to Italy make the emigrants less successful at integrating? Were funds better spent on supporting the home nation rather than sustaining overseas connections? In its probing discussion of immigrant culture, transnational identities, and international politics, this fascinating book not only narrates the grand story of Italian emigration but also provides important background to immigration debates that continue to this day.

Download or read book The Emigrants written by W. G. Sebald and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterwork of W. G. Sebald, now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund The four long narratives in The Emigrants appear at first to be the straightforward biographies of four Germans in exile. Sebald reconstructs the lives of a painter, a doctor, an elementary-school teacher, and Great Uncle Ambrose. Following (literally) in their footsteps, the narrator retraces routes of exile which lead from Lithuania to London, from Munich to Manchester, from the South German provinces to Switzerland, France, New York, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. Along with memories, documents, and diaries of the Holocaust, he collects photographs—the enigmatic snapshots which stud The Emigrants and bring to mind family photo albums. Sebald combines precise documentary with fictional motifs, and as he puts the question to realism, the four stories merge into one unfathomable requiem.

Book Synopsis The Emigrant Communities of Latvia by : Rita Kaša
Download or read book The Emigrant Communities of Latvia written by Rita Kaša and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume examines experiences of contemporary Latvian migrants, thereby focusing on reasons for emigration, processes of integration in their host countries, and – in the case of return migration - re-integration in their home country. In the context of European migration, the book describes the case of Latvia, which is interesting due to the multiple waves of excessive emigration, continuously high migration potential among European Union member states, and diverse migrant characteristics. It provides a fascinating insight into the social and psychological aspects linked to migration in a comparative context. The data in this volume is rich in providing individual level perspectives of contemporary Latvian migrants by addressing issues such as emigrants’ economic, social and cultural inclusion in the host country, ties with the home country and culture, interaction with public authorities both in the host and home country, political views, and perspectives on the permanent settlement in migration or return. Through topics such as assimilation of children, relationships between emigrants representing different emigration waves, the complex identities and attachments of minority emigrants, and the role of culture and media in identity formation and presentation, this book addresses topics that any contemporary emigrant community is faced with.
Book Synopsis Tampa by : Wenceslao Gálvez y Delmonte
Download or read book Tampa written by Wenceslao Gálvez y Delmonte and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1896, Wenceslao Gálvez y Delmonte fled the violence of Cuba’s war for independence and settled in Tampa. He soon made his new home the focus of a work of costumbrismo, the Spanish-language genre built on closely observing the everyday manners and customs of a place. Translated here into English, Gálvez’s narrative mixes evocative descriptions with charming commentary to bring to life the early Cuban exile communities in Ybor City and West Tampa. The writer’s sharp eye finds the local characters, the barber shops and electric streetcars, the city landmarks and new Cuban enclaves. One day, Gálvez offers his thoughts on the pro-independence activities of community leaders like Martín Herrera and Fernando Figuerdo. On another, our exiled bourgeois intellectual author wryly recounts his new life as a door-to-door salesman and lector reading aloud to workers in a cigar factory. This scholarly edition includes photographs and newspaper clippings, a foreword on Gálvez’s extraordinary pre-exile years, extensive notes to the translation, and a wealth of other supplementary material putting the author’s life and work in context. A volume in the series New World Diasporas, edited by Kevin A. Yelvington

Book Synopsis The Emigrant Experience by : Margaret MacDonell
Download or read book The Emigrant Experience written by Margaret MacDonell and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1982-12-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every man has a story to tell and this was no less true of the hundreds of emigrants from the Highlands and the Hebrides who crossed the Atlantic from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century to settle in North America. This selection of Scottish Gaelic songs brings to light the revealing and often touching poems of some twenty such emigrants. Focusing on themes of emigration and exile, their subjects range from the biblical motif of liberation from tyranny (pre-destined by the Creator who provided a land of bounty across the seas), to the happier future anticipated for his daughter by a loyalist fugitive in North Carolina; from a sense of security on the part of a clergyman settled in Pictou County after the disruption in his homeland, to the disenchantment of an emigrant to Manitoba who longed to move on to North Dakota. Their tone may be lyrical, elegaic, or satirical. Songs from various parts of the new world – the Carolinas, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Ontario, and the Canadian west – are included in Gaelic with a facing English translation. A short biography of each bard prefaces the selections attributed to him or her. Detailed notes provide a guide to sources and variant texts, elucidate obscure passages, and define the social and cultural context in which the songs originated. An appendix reproduces the tunes for nine of these songs. This is a book that will inform and entertain both the specialist and the general reader.

Download or read book The Emigrant written by Darie Gheorghe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book about all my persecutions and suffering from Romania in the time of communism. Everything began in 1983 when I decided to leave my country. I could never forget those six years from 1983-1989 of all the suffering and persecution I pulled through, those memories will never leave me. This book is my witness, and I thank God that I am able to write about all my sufferings and persecution during the communist period in my country Romania. I was abused physically and mentally, and it even got to the point where they would try to kill me because of my origin, which is a gypsy. Yes, I am gypsy but, I am also human like everyone else. I have the same blood and the same god like anybody else. I am proud to write on this piece of paper about the tragic events that occurred during the communist period of time in Romania. The brutal crimes, murders, and persecution that occurred transformed population in my country into slaves. Im writing this book about my life, how much I suffered, and how I was persecuted under the communist period. And also I wrote about the events that happened in World War II 1940-1944 under the Marshal Antonescu power; how he persecuted the gypsy and deported them in Trasnistria camp. The persecution didnt stop there; they continued all the way to the year of 1989 under Ceausescu Nicolaie, the President of Romania. Reader, once you open this book, I promise you after you read just a few pages you cant stop reading. Just try to read it, and I guaranty that you will feel and live my moments of my sufferings and persecution. This is not a fi ction book; this is not a storybook, and everything in this book is real. In this book you can fi nd very tragic and humorous events. Maybe youll never read a book like this ever in your life. You discover historic events that were never written, like how the communist would sell the Jews and the gypsies in Europe, and also, how they deported and made them suffer in Trasnistria Camp during the World War II, and many more. I wrote this book crying because I suffered so much for only one reason: I WANT MY FREEDOM!
