Aprašymas
An in-depth look at the Norwegian American community ofMinneapolis-St. Paul and its deep and complex role in the economic, political,
and cultural life of the Twin Cities over more than 170 years. Since the earliest days of European settlement in the
region, tens of thousands of Norwegians have found their way to Minnesota. Many
early arrivals settled in the cities, while others who initially chose the
countryside departed for urban settings after they had become accustomed to the
ways of their adopted home. The growing Twin Cities became home to Norwegian
immigrants and their migrating compatriots alike. These Norwegian Americans took up employment in a range of
fields. They also assembled in churches and charitable organizations, carrying on
homeland traditions even as they took on prominent roles in the larger urban
community. Minnesotans of Norwegian descent in the twenty-first century may not
speak their ancestral tongue, but they lovingly uphold many cultural practices
of their ancestral home. The Heart of the Heartland brings together personal
interviews, demographic research, and archival exploration to inform stories of
assimilation, ascendency, and collaboration among Minnesota's Norwegian
Americans and their neighbors over 170 years. This book is a copublication with the Norwegian American Historical Association.
