Podcast 3 of 3, Annemarie Steidl: From a Multiethnic Empire to a Nation of Nations: Austro-Hungarian Migrants in the US, 1870-1940
The third of three podcasts dedicated to exploring the history of the mass migration from Austria-Hungary to the United States.
In this three-part series on their book entitled From a Multiethnic Empire to a Nation of Nations: Austro-Hungarian Migrants in the US, 1870 to 1940, authors Wladimir Fischer-Nebmaier, James Oberly, and Annemarie Steidl discuss the unique findings of their collaborative, multi-disciplinary study in which they uncovered new information regarding the migration between the Habsburg Monarchy and the United States—among the most significant migrations in history. Their work challenges commonly held immigration theories regarding assimilation while documenting the diversity of ethnic and religious groups during the two waves of migration from Austro-Hungary.
