|---|---|
| Description: | The publication brings attention to particular themes regarding immigration to North and South America, the principal destinations for Czechs and Scandinavians during the great migrations from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The publication discusses the strategies adopted by “minor” nationalities in the New World and reflects on the phenomenon of American migration in national literature. The Scandinavian and Czech experience of transatlantic migration is quite similar in several aspects, which are also common to other European nations: mass emigration in the 19th and 20th centuries; the institutionalisation of the expatriate communities; and, efforts to preserve the national identity, language, and culture of their native countries. What makes the Scandinavian experience different from the Czech experience lies in the nature of the maintenance of continuous ties with their native countries. The nine chapters present studies on Czechs, Norwegians, and Sámi people in the USA and Argentina and Paraguay conducted by Czech and Norwegian academics within the framework of their philological and historical fields. |
