Ignacio Manuel Altamirano's Journey From 'Indio Puro' To Cultural Mestizo: Indigenous Identity, Mestizaje, And Nationalism In Nineteenth-Century Mexico, Angelica Sanchez-Clark
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Like many Mexican Liberal intellectuals, Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (b. Tixtla, Guerrero, 1834; d. San Remo, Italy, 1893) played a central role in defining the role that the mestizo—and, by force of circumstance, the Indian—would play in the formation of national identity after Mexicos independence from Spain. This dissertation examines Altamirano's literary and political works, as well as his personal correspondence, and his experiences as a soldier, educator, and politician, in order to understand how Altamirano, represented as an 'indio puro' who underwent the transformation to mestizo, exemplifies the link between Mexico's colonial past and its struggle to define its national …

The Reasons For This Book And How It Came To Be Published, Max Henius
The Bridge
The appearance of this little book has come about primarily because of the Danish-born Americans’ Festival in the Rebild Hills this year. We have for some time wished to assemble representatives from all Danish American camps and communities in these United States and to meet at one spot within our country of origin. This year, for the first time, we will have managed to do that, as it has become more and more clear how little those of us from the old country know about each other, because we live so far apart, and we are thus unable to understand …

I do not propose to write here a complete history of the Danish Church as it was established in America—the full story of the Danish Church in America has yet to arrive at its conclusion. Instead, I offer here a brief overview of the work of the church among the immigrants to the United States, drawing the attention of the readers of this book to particular points.

It can be said that an organized effort to preserve Danish language and culture has existed here in America since the beginning of the seventies. The immigrants considered it essential that they develop plans to strengthen and design general education for young adults. Among the immigrants who immediately joined the Church right from the beginning, there were few academics. However, because many knew about the højskole concept in Denmark, this concept became the foundation for their church-sheltered schools.

The “Danish Folk Society” was established in the spring of 1887. On April 18 of that year a public invitation was issued for the establishment of the society, and from April 18 till April 21 this year the society celebrated its 25th anniversary here in Clinton, Iowa. The celebration took place at the location where the idea got its start and where the plans were laid.

To begin this little essay, which can only amount to a few scattered remarks because of its place and its general nature, I want to repeat some of what I was able to say in a speech in Aarhus on Danish-American Day on July 4, 1909:
“Speaking as I undoubtedly am on this occasion to those whose longing to travel has been or soon will be focused on America; I cannot emphasize strongly enough that the United States is not a paradise, not the utopia about which C.H. Winther and H.C. Andersen sang. America is the Promised Land only for …

The number of Danish-born people is listed for each State. The first number is the Danish-born population after the last Census in 1910. The number in parentheses is the number from the 1900 Census. If there is only one number, it is taken from the 1900 Census.

The following list of books contain—as far as we have been able to ascertain—most of those books which have been written in Danish by Danish-American authors. Included in the list are those Danish authors who have written about conditions in America or which have been published by Danish American publishers. The multitudes of other Danish authors have not been included. We do not make the claim that the list is complete, it has simply been quite difficult to ensure completeness in the short time we have had available. We have not included those small publications which may have been published …

Is the Danish immigrant to the United States quickly naturalized?
This is a question people home in Denmark often ask me, and I will answer both yes and no.
Yes! In as much as it is a known fact that the Danish immigrant, to a higher degree than most other nationalities, takes advantage of his right to apply for “first papers” soon after his arrival.
No! In as much as many Danes, who have received these naturalization papers, never go so far as to get the last citizenship papers and therefore do not become full citizens. If the reason is …

This year, it has been exactly 10 years since the Association of Danish Youth clubs was initiated within the Danish Church. There most likely were Danish youth groups before 1902, but they had little or no connection with each other. They were missing the spur that unity can give and the strength to be found in solidarity.

The purpose of the Danish-American Society is summarized in concise form in its Constitution: to promote a reciprocal and better understanding of the Danish and the American peoples, to knit closer ties between these two nations, and to advance the interests of both.
The work of solving these tasks is still only in its infancy, so, consequently, this is not a history of the Society.

“The United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in America” is the name of an organization of congregations and pastors who are among those Danes who have immigrated to America, and who desire to hold firmly to the faith in which they were baptized, to remain in that church to which they have belonged since childhood, and who want to support the effort to preserve that faith in their adopted land and pass that heritage on to their children. This goal is not attainable except by mutual work, sacrifice and effort. “The United Church,” as we are now used to saying in …

A half century ago, the split between Danish and Norwegian in the United States was not as sharply delineated as it is now. The two nations’ work and interests overlapped on many points. Thus it was a Danish man, Claus Lauridsen Clausen, who was the first pastor among the Norwegians in America. This same man began in 1853 the publication of the magazine “Emigranten” [The Emigrant], which addressed both Norwegian and Danish readers. This magazine still exists as “Minneapolis Tidende” [The Minneapolis Times] and is one of the largest and most widely-distributed Norwegian-American magazines. In 1847, a Danish man in …
