Probing the Past
This Festschrift acknowledges the scholarly work of Leo Schelbert and his mentorship of graduate students in the Department of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago where for 33 years he taught American history. Professor Schelbert has specialized in the story of European migrations and especially of immigration to the United States. His courses offered not only pertinent data, but they also raised theoretical issues to which historical work is tied inescapably.

Westward
15 portraits of Swiss women who immigrated to the United States in the 20th century. They hailed from different Swiss cantons, came from varied familial and occupational backgrounds, and are living in different states of the USA, while two of them have returned to Switzerland.

Nach Amerika
Der "Heimwehbub" Jürg Padrutt reist mit einem Touristenvisum in die USA ein, dann kauft er eine Farm und bleibt. Stefan Kälin, Mitglied der Schweizer Ski-Nationalmannschaft, steht an der Golden Gate Bridge und beschliesst, nie wieder als Elektriker zu arbeiten. Philip Gelzer macht ein einjähriges Praktikum in New York, Weltbankökonom Heinz Bachmann wollte gar nie auswandern, Melkersohn Franz Portmann wollte nur eines: weg. Und alle leben sie heute in den USA. Sie kamen aus Einsiedeln, Neuhausen, Chur oder Unterwasser, sie waren Bauer, Banker, Liftboy oder Käser und wurden Farmer, Professor, Wirt oder Fotograf in New York City, Aspen oder New Glarus. "Nach Amerika" dokumentiert dreizehn Lebensgeschichten, erzählt von den Auswanderern selbst. Neun davon hat Susann Bosshard-Kälin nach Gesprächen aufgeschrieben, dazu kommen vier autobiografische Texte. Es sind sowohl einzigartige wie typische Auswandererschicksale des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts, in dem Amerika wohl wie nie zuvor ein Traumland für viele Schweizer war.
