To a Western Home Norwegian Immigrants on Their Way to Becoming American
by Ann Marie Legreid, Ph.D. No immigrant group in America has lived and thrived in a vacuum, segregated from other ethnicities. Each has faced prejudice and challenge, debacles on the border, and documented versus undocumented issues. Each has transplanted elements of home cultures in America while adapting and acculturating in a dynamic transnational environment. . . .That is the immigrant story.
