Retaining Modern Nordic-American Identity amongst Diversity in the United States Today CHRIS SUSAG his article examines Nordic-American identity as it exists to day in the United States. Four groups will be the focus of this discussion: Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Finland-Swedish Americans. (Icelandic Americans also belong in the multi-ethnic group, but were not surveyed for this study.) Many of the factors contributing to what some scholars see to be an apparent decrease in Nordic-American group identity will be examined. This article will also examine those aspects of each group that are important to its members and continue to serve as important aspects of the group's culture. Some comparisons will be drawn and the future of Nordic- American group identities considered. The United States has historically struggled to bring its citizens together as Americans. The American "melting pot" was one attempt to homogenize many diverse groups into the larger, collective group as Americans. Over time it became obvious, however, that not all Americans shared similar practices or identities and were thus not easily homogenized into this model. While it could be said that the melting pot encouraged many to give up their ethnic identity in favor of some sort of vaguely defined American identity, over time it has been largely abandoned. In its place, the contemporary approach to differentness in the United States is to encourage "diversity." This typically stresses the acceptance of the differences between groups and encourages the celebration of racial, ethnic, and cultural differ- CHRIS SUSAG holds a Ph.D. from the University of Joensuu, Finland. -

From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and Its Place in New York City’S Greek Community
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Directory of Open Access Journals © 2011, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 4, Issue 1, pp. 163-178 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and its Place in New York City’s Greek Community Michael Nevradakis University of Texas at Austin, United States Abstract: This paper examines the role that imported satellite television programming from Greece has played in the maintenance and rejuvenation of Greek cultural identity and language use within the Greek-American community of New York City—the largest and most significant in the United States. Four main concepts guide this paper, based on prior theoretical research established in the field of Diaspora studies: authenticity, assertive hybridity, cultural capital, and imagined communities. Satellite television broadcasts from Greece have targeted the audience of the Hellenic Diaspora as an extension of the homeland, and as a result, are viewed as more “authentic” than Diaspora-based broadcasts. Assertive hybridity is exemplified through satellite programming such as reality shows and the emergence of transnational pop stars such as Kalomoira, who was born and raised in New York but attained celebrity status in Greece as the result of her participation on the Greek reality show Fame Story. Finally, satellite television broadcasts from Greece have fostered the formation of a transnational imagined community, linked by the shared viewing of Greek satellite programming and the simultaneous consumption of Greek pop culture and acquisition of cultural capital. All of the above concepts are evident in the emergence of a Greek “café culture” and “sports culture”, mediated by satellite television and visible in the community’s public spaces. -
Sample Selecting Race Ethnicity
Selecting an Ethnicity If, in prior records, an individual has indicated that he or she was Hispanic, then the ethnicity question is answered. Your job is to observe and select a racial category. Many Hispanic individuals consider “Hispanic” as their race (partly due to past experience of using this as if it were a racial category). They may look for “Hispanic” or “some other race” in the race question. When they do not find it, they leave it blank. Following up might be all that is needed to collect the information directly from the student or parent. A student may volunteer his or her ancestry rather than answering “yes” to the Hispanic/Latino ethnicity question. The following is a list of Hispanic ancestry groups to which Hispanic individuals may refer themselves: Spaniard Andalusian Asturian Castillian Catalonian Balearic Islander Gallego Valencian Canary Islander Mexican Mexican American Mexicano Chicano La Raza Mexican American Indian Mexican State Costa Rican Guatemalan Honduran Nicaraguan Panamanian Salvadoran Central American Canal Zone Argentinean Bolivian Chilean Colombian Ecuadorian Paraguayan Peruvian Uruguayan Venezuelan Criollo South American Latin American Latino Puerto Rican Dominican Hispanic Spanish Californio Tejano Nuevo Mexicano Spanish American Selecting a Race In general, the new federal requirements conflate race and geographic/national origin. For example, “White” is defined to include people who originate from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Though not an exhaustive list, the following chart may help -

LARSON-DISSERTATION-2020.Pdf
THE NEW “OLD COUNTRY” THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA AND THE CREATION OF A YUGOSLAV DIASPORA 1914-1951 BY ETHAN LARSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Maria Todorova, Chair Professor Peter Fritzsche Professor Diane Koenker Professor Ulf Brunnbauer, University of Regensburg ABSTRACT This dissertation reviews the Kingdom of Yugoslavia’s attempt to instill “Yugoslav” national consciousness in its overseas population of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, as well as resistance to that same project, collectively referred to as a “Yugoslav diaspora.” Diaspora is treated as constructed phenomenon based on a transnational network between individuals and organizations, both emigrant and otherwise. In examining Yugoslav overseas nation-building, this dissertation is interested in the mechanics of diasporic networks—what catalyzes their formation, what are the roles of international organizations, and how are they influenced by the political context in the host country. The life of Louis Adamic, who was a central figure within this emerging network, provides a framework for this monograph, which begins with his arrival in the United States in 1914 and ends with his death in 1951. Each chapter spans roughly five to ten years. Chapter One (1914-1924) deals with the initial encounter between Yugoslav diplomats and emigrants. Chapter Two (1924-1929) covers the beginnings of Yugoslav overseas nation-building. Chapter Three (1929-1934) covers Yugoslavia’s shift into a royal dictatorship and the corresponding effect on its emigration policy. -
