Recenzii
“This book is a significant step forward. Educating Greek Americans has made a groundbreaking contribution. I highly recommend it to those interested in foreign language education or the history of Greeks in the United States.” (Elaine Thomopoulos, JMH, The Journal of Modern Hellenism, Vol. 35, January, 2023)
“The book’s appearance is timely … . this new book will become a standard work on Greek-American education that others will refer to and build upon for many years to come. … The studies in the Soumakis-Zervas volume contain examples of successful methods and models that should be adopted and shared.” (Constantine G. Hatzidimitriou, Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Vol. 40 (1), May, 2022)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This edited collection considers Greek American formal and informal educational efforts, institutions, and programs, broadly conceived, as they evolved over time throughout the United States. The book’s focus on Greek Americans aims to highlight the vast array of educational responses to local needs and contexts as this distinct, yet, heterogeneous immigrant community sought to maintain its linguistic, cultural, and religious heritage for over one hundred years. The chapters in this volume amend the scholarly literature that thus far has not only overlooked Greek American educational initiatives, but has also neglected to recognize and analyze the community’s persistence in sustaining them. This book is an important contribution to an understanding of Greek Americans’ long overdue history as a significant diaspora community within an American context.
