Greeks In America is a book written by Thomas Burgess that provides an in-depth account of the Greek community in the United States. The book explores the history of Greek immigration to America, from the first Greek settlers in the early 1800s to the large waves of immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Burgess describes the challenges that Greeks faced upon arrival, including discrimination and language barriers, and how they overcame these obstacles to establish themselves in American society.The book also delves into the customs and traditions of Greek-American communities, including their religious practices, food, music, and dance. Burgess discusses the ways in which Greek culture has been preserved and adapted in America, as well as the contributions that Greek-Americans have made to American society in fields such as business, politics, and the arts.Throughout the book, Burgess highlights the aspirations of Greek-Americans, both as individuals and as a community. He explores the ways in which they have worked to achieve success and overcome adversity, and how they continue to strive for a better future for themselves and their families.Overall, Greeks In America provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the Greek-American experience, shedding light on a community that has played an important role in shaping American culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
