Making Americans
Examining archival footage and documents about the cultural work of silent film during the 1910s and 1920s, this essay reveals the complicity of film with the work of organized Americanization at both federal and industrial levels. Specifically, it argues that early American cinema is complicit with and critical of Americanization, as it negotiates multiple new immigrant concerns. Joining the recent work of film and immigration historians, it arg…
Native Acts, Immigrant Acts
This article reveals the complicity of immigration restriction laws and federal Indian policy with organized Americanization in legislating an imagined, desirable “new American” at the beginning of the twentieth century, when resurgent nationalism threatened to restrict undesirable immigrants as it also sought to assimilate Indigenous people into a mass of Americanism. While the immigrant has figured in the U.S. national imaginary as someone who …

Americanization and the Immigrant Novel, Redux
In this essay I turn to Abraham Cahan’s The Rise of David Levinsky (1917), one of the most popular immigrant novels ever written. I argue that, like other immigrant writers of his generation, Cahan challenged the optimistic version of Americanization of the Progressive Era. First, I examine the context surrounding the publication of the novel, and argue that it stages Cahan’s response to nativism and anti-Semitism, pervasive in print culture at t…
Dana Mihãilescu. Eastern European Jewish American Narratives, 1890–1930
How did people who faced various forms of suffering—from the pogroms in Eastern Europe to the legal and political discrimination in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and beyond—maintain their humanity through disinterested acts of care and ethical responsibility? This question is at the heart of Dana Mihăilescu’s Eastern European Jewish American Narratives, 1890–1930, published in the Lexington Books series Studies in Modern …

The Autobiography of Citizenship
Tova Cooper’s The Autobiography of Citizenship: Assimilation and Resistance in U.S. Education is a refreshing and compelling study of citizenship education programs and practices as well as autobiographies or autobiographical writing by new citizens between 1880 and 1920. The book is a comparative analysis of educational experiences of three groups of new citizens or citizens-to-be: European immigrants, African Americans, and American Indians. Th…
Marcus E. Ravage's An American in the Making, Americanization, and New Immigrant Representation
In this essay I discuss M. E. Ravage’s autobiography, An American in the Making: The Life Story of an Immigrant (1917), a forgotten text in immigration literary history, and one of the most accomplished Romanian American Jewish autobiographies. I explore how the work of a first-generation immigrant writer and public intellectual contributes to contemporaneous debates about Americanization. I argue that, along with the cultural work of the immigra…
