  • Baptismal Clothing from Immigrant Families, Which Opened May 28, Celebrates the Richness
    America Letter THE DANISH IMMIGRANT MUSEUM An International Cultural Center August 1999 Box 470 • Elk Horn, Iowa 51531 Vol. XIII, No. 3 The exhibition, A Consecration of Hope: Baptismal Clothing from Immigrant Families, which opened May 28, celebrates the richness of the Museum’s textile collection The display fea- tures thirty-five small baptismal garments, plus bonnets and booties. Six of the garments are on loan; the rest are from the Museum’s perma- nent collection, at- testing to the range and extent of the Museum’s holdings, which are significant for a young institu- tion. Some of these garments have been worn by successive generations of babies. One of the beautiful dresses in the exhibit features hardan- ger inserts and was made from the donor’s mother’s wedding gown. on this baptismal dress are embroidered the names of 28 babies who have worn it over the years (see photo at right). The oldest garment in the exhibit is a lovely long dress with lace inserts that was made for a baptism in 1888 and has since been worn by two great grandchildren of that infant. another Christening outfit on display was worn for a baptism in Denmark. Years after that baby grew up and immigrated to the United States he returned to Denmark on a visit in 1938 and brought the garments back with him. They have since been worn by a great-grandchild. The over forty garments on display include baptismal dresses, slips, coats, bonnets, and booties. The love and skill that went into the mak- ing of these tiny garments is immediately apparent.

Danebod: A Traditionof Strength and Spirit by Ann Svendsen The Danes have always expressed their joys by having festivals. Fastelavns (Fest before Lent) is celebrated on Shrove Tuesday . The Fifth of June, a traditional celebration, remembers the day Denmark got its first constitution and became a democracy. America's patriotism and freedom are celebrated on the Fourth of July. The bounties of agriculture are celebrated with the annual Harvest Festival. Christmas is celebrated not only in the majesty and solemnity of a candle­ light church service but by dancing around a huge tree when the children also recieve bags of candy, apples and nuts, and gifts. It was with a festival that Danish immigrants, in 1885, celebrated the founding of Danebod, their new settlement in Tyler, Minnesota, a community today of 1257 civic- . minded people. The name "Danebod" is rooted in Danish history. The 9th century queen, Thyra, wife of King Gorm, successfully rallied and united her people to build a wall of defense against foreign invaders.

Hans Jorgen Pedersen: The Founder of Danebod by Thorvald Hansen He served as pastor in a number of congregations. He was president of three Folk Schools, two of which he founded. He was a good businessman and was able to finance some of his undertakings. Yet he seemed never to stay at any one thing for very long. He easily became discouraged and he seems to have been that type of person for whom the grass is always greener somewhere else. Nonetheless, in the thirty years of his activity in America, Hans Jorgen Pedersen made a significant contribution to the life of the Danish Lutheran Church among the immigrants. On December 28th of 1851 Hans Jorgen Pedersen was born. He was the son of a poor family living at Ringe Parish on the island of Funen, in Denmark. He was baptized on January 11 th of the new year.

The Danish Folk High School and its Presence in the U.S.: The Failure of the Danish-American Folk High Schools vs. the Success of Highlander Folk School by Zizanie Bodene-Yost The folk high schools remain an important part of Danish culture over one hundred and fifty years after their birth. Although Denmark, and the world, is very different now than it was in the nineteenth century, this unique form of education is still an effective model. On the one hand, it would be a mistake to suppose that the folk high school cannot be relevant outside of the culture in which it originated. However, it would be equally wrong to suppose that the folk high school has not changed or evolved over time, or that it can be transplanted to a new environment in exactly the same form as it takes in Denmark.

  • Ethnicity, Religion and Acculturation Among Danish Americans in Three
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 48:2 (2016), pp. 59-82. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Safeguarding Danish- ness? Ethnicity, Religion and Acculturation among Danish Americans in Three Danish Spaces in the U.S. Pernille Skovgaard Christensen Aalborg University Abstract: This paper examines and compares patterns of ethnic safeguarding across the generations in three Danish spaces in the US Midwest. Investigating the extent to which ‘Danishness’ has continuously been practised and preferred among descen- dants of the Danish immigrants who settled there at around the turn of the 20th cen- tury, it argues that there is a variety in the level to which Danish ethnic identity has historically been safeguarded in the three spaces. Consequently, this is echoed by variations in the extent to which later generations of immigrants seem to have relin- quished Danishness as the defining part of their identities. The interviews indicate that a late 19th century dispute within the Danish church in America regarding the re- lation between religion and ethnicity, manifested in self-perceptions and life practises among Danish American families, echoed through the generations and impacted the acculturation processes to this very day. Key words: religion, ethnicity, safeguarding, life stories, Danishness Introduction In Europe as well as in other parts of the world, the increasing influx of migrants has triggered discussions about how people can live together in ethnically and culturally diverse societies. In Denmark, current public and media debates revolve around immigrant communities and the measures 60 American Studies in Scandinavia, 48:2 that must be taken to integrate immigrants arriving from places such as Syria, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
