Becoming Swedish-American: The construction of an ethnic identity in the Augustana Synod, 1860-1917 (Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis)

"This study explores the construction of a Swedish-American identity within the Augustana Synod, the leading Swedish-American organization. The nature and contents of this identity are traced at Augustana College, which was the leading Swedish-American institution of higher learning; at the Augustana Book Concern, the largest Swedish-American publishing house; and through the fashioning of a Swedish-American history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
