Contents:
When Germans immigrated (or merely travelled) to the United States they encountered other ethnicities and races. By contradistinction they held particular opinions about those others, e.g. the English (“Americans”), Irish, Spanish, etc., Indians and Blacks. We will discuss travel accounts, letters, and works of fiction to determine how these non-German ethnicities and races are perceived and described in the course of 19th century.
