- Description
- "'A Peculiar People': Celebration, Historical Memory and the Creation of Ethnic Identity among Norwegian American in the 1920s." "This study...analyses the Norwegian-American Immigration Centennial, a national celebration, as a strategic site for the invention of ethnicity. Through this celebration, Norwegian Americans constructed their own, though quite contested, vision of the past and the present, a social and cultural construction that both accommodated and resisted dominant Anglo-American conceptions of assimilation." A revised version was published by the University of Massachusetts Press, 1994, as Ethnicity on Parade: Inventing the Norwegian American through Celebration. A Minnesota History review (Winter 1996-1997) of the book is included.
