Hans Werner Debrunner, Schweizer Im Kolonialen Afrika, Leo Schelbert Jun 1992

Hans Werner Debrunner, Schweizer Im Kolonialen Afrika, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Themes connected with Switzerland are often judged to be of only marginal significance. The Swiss nation as such certainly was no player in the European penetration and partition of the African continent. The involvement of Swiss people, furthermore, was numerically small and cannot compare with that of the Dutch or the Danes. Yet Hans Werner Debrunner's study of Swiss in colonial Africa is nevertheless of great value, especially since it is part of a set of other works he has devoted to African issues. It adds, first, much to our knowledge of Swiss migrations, understood not primarily as settlements overseas, …

Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren Jun 1992

Emil Staiger, Basic Concepts Of Poetics, Edward K. Berggren

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Originally published in · 1946, Staiger's Basic Concepts of Poetics is ostensibly an alternative introduction to traditional theories of poetics and genre criticism. However, the work actually proposes an entire reconceptualization of these theories, linking them to a more "fundamental" philosophical and anthropological project which, Staiger tells us, might more appropriately read as a work of philosophical anthropology attempting to answer the question, "What is man?" Its answer comes by way of an investigation of the existential world of poetics, because he sees poetics as one of our primary openings onto Being as well as an expression of humankind's most …

Joan Magee, The Swiss In Ontario, Leo Schelbert Jun 1992

Joan Magee, The Swiss In Ontario, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This is truly a Swiss-Canadian book. It not only offers a fact-filled survey of the Swiss presence in Canada's vast province of Ontario, covering some three centuries, but it is also produced by Swiss Canadians. The text is .written by "a descendant of Johannes Etter, a Swiss innkeeper," the study's end page explains; in 1735 he had left Bern, Switzerland, with about 300 others for South Carolina. "Etter's son Peter, a Loyalist, travelled to Halifax in ·1776, founding the Canadian branch of the Etter family." Also the book's artwork is done by a Swiss-Canadian, the painter Rudolf Stussi, and the …

Anabaptist Emigration From The Old Republic Of Bern, Delbert Gratz Jun 1992

Anabaptist Emigration From The Old Republic Of Bern, Delbert Gratz

Swiss American Historical Society Review

From my living room window· I see several of the farms that were the cradle of our Bernese Mennonite Settlement made in Putnam County, Ohio, in the mid-183O's. My mind often wonders as I gaze at these old buildings, the fields and forests. I try to imagine: What these first Bernese saw when they arrived here; How they reacted to the wilderness and its animals and also to its few remaining aboriginal inhabitants; What they talked about - their memories, their concerns for themselves and their progeny; What their social, cultural, economic and religious life was like in the land …

Obituary: Fritz Marti, Philosopher, Dies At 97 In Tucson, Arizona

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Professor Fritz Marti passed away in his sleep November 23, 1991, in Tucson, Arizona, where he lived with a daughter since 1987. He would have been 98 years old on January 1st. Born in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1894, Marti served in the Swiss Army during the First World War as an engineer and as an intelligence officer in England at the war's outset, preventing German nationals from returning to Germany under the guise of Swiss citizenship. He took his Doctorate of Philosophy at the University of Bern in 1922 and came to the United States that year to teach at …

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page Feb 1992

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In the midst of the extraordinary current political, economic and cultural changes transforming Europe, few nations find themselves in a greater dilemma than Great Britain and Switzerland. While they must participate to a degree in the process of European economic unification, both Britain and Switzerland risk in so doing jeopardizing their political and cultural identities to a greater extent than any other countries in Europe. No other European culture reveres political independence and sovereignty as much as these two. In addition, whereas the other nation states of Europe have been involved in larger supranational European empires until recent times, Britain …

The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling Jan 1992

The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling

The Bridge

The title of this paper is two-sided. The private letter is an important source for understanding the psychological and human aspects of immigration. It is also important to note that until recently historians have shown much too little interest in the documents from the immigrants themselves. My hypothesis, which I intend to discuss here, is that the private letter was the most important stimulating pull-factor in immigration history. In certain periods a call for USA was put forward in most letter series. Praising various aspects of American life, private letters were written to draw relatives or friends across the Atlantic. …

Jens Horstrup: A Labor Legacy, Shannon Kracht Jan 1992

Jens Horstrup: A Labor Legacy, Shannon Kracht

The Bridge

When Jens Horstrup was a young man, his father Albert taught him that every worker had a right to take part in decisions made by his or her employer. It was a lesson that he carried - and re-taught - for the remainder of his life. Born in July, 1907, in Fredrickshavn to a ship patternmaker father, Jens opted for the bricklaying trade. He served a seven-year apprenticeship in Denmark, worked as a bricklayer in his country for awhile, and, seeking the challenges inherent in new opportunities, traveled to America in 1927. In his book, The Danish Americans, George R. …
