This is an engrossing account of Greek Americans?their history, strengths, conflicts, aspirations, and contributions. Blending sociological insight with historical detail, Peter C. and Charles C. Moskos trace the Greek-American experience from the wave of mass immigration in the early 1900s to today. This is the story of immigrants, most of whom worked hard to secure middle-class status. It is also the story of their children and grandchildren, many of whom maintain an attachment to Greek ethnic identity even as they have become one of America's most successful ethnic groups.As the authors rightly note, the true measure of Greek-Americans is the immigrants themselves who came to America without knowing the language and without education. They raised solid families in the new country and shouldered responsibilities for those in the old. They laid the basis for an enduring Greek-American community.Included in this completely revised edition is an introduction by Michael Dukakis and chapters relating to the early struggles of Greeks in America, the Greek Orthodox Church, success in America, and the survival and expansion of Greek identity despite intermarriage. This work will be of value to scholars of ethnic studies, those interested in Greek culture and communities, and sociologists and historians.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter III THE GREEKS IN AMERICA (Continued) SOCIAL CONDITIONS Improved social conditions.--Now, as a rule, people are living in more sanitary conditions than formerly. Greeks, like other immigrants, adapt themselves to circumstances. Those who arrive at any port in the United States searching for work are glad to find a place to put their head. The whole family of four, five or more get along for a time in one room, hut as soon as they get work and improve their circumstances, they seek hetter quarters with improved conditions of living. EECBEATION Coffee-houses.--Greeks have brought to America their customs and modes of recreation from the old country. Coffee-houses provide the principal recreation for men. People flock to these places day and night, sitting around tables, sipping black coffee, smoking cigars, or more commonly cigarettes, or the narghile, and discussing everything, --business, news of national interest, and of course the politics of Greece and the attitude of Americans towards them. At times they discuss American politics. There are often animated discussions that might be taken for quarrels by those who do not understand Greek, but it is all verbal, no blows exchanged excepting the blows the tables or chairs receive. Greeks, like the Latin people, accompany their words with multiple gestures of hands and head, maybe even the foot, or the whole body. Games.--Certain games are played in almost all the coffee-houses, --cards, backgammon, chess, and dominoes. Cards are the most common game. They are often played for pastime and recreation. Gambling.--But unfortunately gambling is frequently connected with them. Almost every answer to my questionnaire mentioned gambling as the chief evil among the Greeks in America. Id.

This book is about Greek Americans who have lived or live in Essex County, New Jersey. Greeks first started to immigrate to the United States in large numbers after 1900. This book gives the stories of individual Greek American families. It gives a cross section of the Greek immigrants who come to America between 1900 and 1930. And it gives a cross section of the children of these immigrants. A Greek American community is synonomous with a parish of the Orthodox Church. In Essex County the community consisted of four churches. These churches are St. Nicholas, St. Demetrios, St. Fanourios, and Sts Constantine and Helen. The priests who served these churches and their period of service are listed in the book. The churches religious services and Sunday and Greek schools greatly participate in shaping the moral character of the people. This book contains the biographies of individual families of the community. The biographies are arranged alphabetically, except that biographies about children or grandchildren of a particular family immediately follow the root family biography, so as to maintain the continuity of that family. The chief characteristics of the first immigrants were their high moral character and their industriousness. They passed these good characteristics onto their children. These immigrants were also highly supportive of education, and saw to it that their children received a good education. Because of all of these factors, today the immigrants children and grandchildren are leaders in commerce, industry, education, and government. They have accomplished what their parents desired for them. Truly they have achieved the American dream.
