This study represents but the initial phase of a multidisciplinary
endeavor sponsored by the Russian and East European Studies Center
of the University of California, Los Angeles, the ultimate goal of
which is to provide a comprehensive description and analysis of the
cultural, linguistic, economic and social integration of the Slavs
living in California into American society. As the first step of
this planned cross-disciplinary investigation, the Center
recommended the implementation of a preliminary study of a limited
scope, the present linguistic investigation of the Yugoslav
community of San Pedro, California. As there is a dearth of
information of a sociological as well as a linguistic nature
pertaining to the local Slavs, the investigators decided to treat
briefly the sociological situation of Yugoslav immigrants and then
proceed with a more detailed discussion of the linguistic problems
of immigrant bilingualism. Consequently, we have divided the
present study into the following major chapters : Chapter I, the
Yugoslav Immigration to America, not only examines the several
phases of Yugoslav immigration to the United States, but also
discusses the various motives which prompted people to immigrate to
this country and especially to the small maritime community of San
Pedro; against this background the investigators describe the
Yugoslav ethnic minority and its contributions to the San Pedro
community.
