Description:Ethnic Leadership & Midwestern Politics investigates the notion of ethnic identity as it relates to Scandinavian Americans & political affiliations in Wisconsin from 1890-1914. It traces the evolution of their political alliances as they move from an early patronage system to one of a more enlightened social awareness, prompted by the Wisconsin Progressives led by Rbt M. LaFollette. Brondal's thoro research & cogent arguments combine to explain the workings of a political system that accorded nationality a major role in politics at the expense of real political, social & economic issues in the early 1890s, & how & why the Progressives determined to change that system. He explains the change by looking at several important Scandinavian-American institutions, including the church, mutual aid fraternities, the temperance movement, the Scandinavian-language press, political clubs & labor & farmer organizations, showing how these institutions impacted the construction of a nascent sense of Scandinavian American national identity & made a lasting mark on the Scandinavian-American role in politics.ForewordPrefaceIntroduction1 Structures, The Scandinavian Americans & the politics of tradition Entering Wisconsin's ethnic patchwork quiltPastors & politicsSecular societiesThe pressScandinavian Americans enter politics2 Dynamics, The Progressive assault on traditionThe transformation of politics in WisconsinBattles against tradition3 Values, A Set of Scandinavian-American political principles?
