520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. For nearly a century, the symbol of the American "melting pot" - namely that all cultures are transformed into a single American identity - has enjoyed considerable popularity. Bruce M. Stave and John F. Sutherland offer the reader an opportunity to explore and question this and other concepts in From the Old Country, an oral history comprising the voices of the early European immigrants - the Irish, Scandinavians, Italians, Jews, Poles, Slavs, and others - who came to America by the millions between the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. The authors, both practicing oral historians, have compiled their interviews and others conducted by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. This resulting blend is a new and enlightening, sometimes disturbing, perspective on the forefathers and foremothers who gave so much to the country that they have adopted as their own. Their interviews, combined with those of the WPA, enable the authors to offer the reader a perspective of at least three generations of immigrant experience. From the Old Country presents the concept that while there were, and are, many common experiences encountered by the American immigrant, there are also experiences that are not shared by all ethnic groups and individuals.
