The nearly 400 bibliographic items are arranged on the basis of five major themes: 1) General Reference Works; 2) Humanities; 3) Social Sciences; 4)History; and 5) Pure and Applied Sciences. All entries are indexed by author (editor, compiler), title, and facts of publication. This guide is extremely easy to use.
Language Maintenance Within an American Ethnic Community
Dr. Roceric conducted research between 1975 to 1981. She interviewed more than 240 Americans of Romanian descent in communities including Detroit, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; New York, New York; and South St. Paul and St. Paul, Minnesota. Roceric documents her research process, gives examples of responses to questions during her interviews, discusses language use and preservation among different groups of immigrants (1st generation, 2nd, etc.) and concludes that Romanian-Americans maintain their ethnic language for reasons related to pride and identity. Her questionnaire and a Selected Bibliography are included.
The Romanian American Odyssey
Donated by Linda and Darlene Dimitrie. Sefora Geantă offers an innovative exploration of contemporary Romanian American identities. She analyzes interviews with first- and second-generation Romanian Americans to make conclusions about the level of adaptation to American society by Romanian immigrants and their offspring, as well as generational gaps or differences. She identifies the hybrid identity pattern that impacts younger generations of immigrants. This research focuses primarily on those who came to the U.S. from Romania in the post-Communist era (after 1989). Other areas of inquiry include the evolution of careers, the transfer of values, language usage, and so on.
Americans and Queen Marie of Romania
Granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, Marie (1875-1938) became queen of Romania, her adopted country, in 1914 when her husband Ferdinand assumed the throne. Queen Marie became known worldwide for her charitable efforts and her work nursing wounded soldiers on the front lines during World War I. She helped lead the political and diplomatic efforts that led to Romanian national unification in 1918. This collection of documents reveals important aspects of the life and personality of this remarkable monarch. Americans and Queen Marie of Romania is edited by Diana Fotescu, a researcher at the Cotroceni Museum in Bucharest, the former royal palace where Queen Marie lived. She compiled the materials presented in this volume during her work in the archives in the United States and Romania.
