The Problem Of Americanization (1920)

The Problem of Americanization, written by Peter Roberts and originally published in 1920, is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges and opportunities presented by the process of Americanization. At the time of its publication, the United States was experiencing a significant influx of immigrants, and many were grappling with the question of how best to integrate these newcomers into American society.Roberts approaches this issue from a variety of angles, examining the economic, social, and cultural factors that influence the process of Americanization. He explores the role of education in shaping the values and beliefs of immigrants, as well as the impact of industrialization and urbanization on the immigrant experience.Throughout the book, Roberts emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique perspectives and experiences of different immigrant groups, and he advocates for a more nuanced and empathetic approach to Americanization. He also acknowledges the challenges and tensions inherent in the process, including issues of language, religion, and identity.Despite its age, The Problem of Americanization remains a relevant and insightful exploration of a complex and ongoing issue. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by immigration and the ongoing process of cultural integration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Now retired, Peter Roberts and his spouse Glenna divide their time between an art-filled "pied a terre" apartment in Ottawa and a country house in the Gatineau hills where he is at work on a new book on the return to the homeland campaign which saw so many misguided Canadians of east European origin lured to return to the misery of their communist ruled ancestral lands.
