The
Dutch-American Experience: Essays in Honor of Robert
P. Swierenga
Edited by Hans Krabbendam and Larry
J. Wagenaar
The nineteenth century
Dutch immigrants in the United States formed a characteristic
subculture. Historian Robert P. Swierenga devoted a
large part of his career to explore their common experience
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His important
contribution to ethnic studies stimulated a school
of students and colleagues to digest, review, and expand
his research. This volume presents research on the
Dutch in America, focusing of four central themes in
Swierenga’s work: the relationship between worldview
and immigration, the trek itself, the religious setting,
and the role of the individual.
