Publisher's Synopsis
Americanization and Citizenship: Lessons in Community and National Ideals for New Americans is a book written by Hanson Hart Webster in 1919. The book aims to educate new immigrants about American values and culture, and help them become active and responsible citizens of their new country. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the United States, including its founding principles, political system, and social customs. It also discusses the challenges faced by immigrants in adapting to a new culture and the importance of assimilation. The second part of the book focuses on practical advice for new immigrants, such as learning English, respecting American laws and customs, and participating in civic life. It also includes lessons on American democracy, the role of the citizen in government, and the importance of community service. Webster's writing style is clear and concise, and he uses examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. The book is aimed at a general audience, but it is particularly relevant for immigrants who are seeking to become naturalized citizens. Overall, Americanization and Citizenship is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand American culture and values, and it remains relevant today as the United States continues to welcome immigrants from around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
