A celebration of cultural inheritance and the evolution of
language. Mapping the language, literature, and history of
Icelandic immigrants and their descendants, this collection,
translated and expanded for English-speaking audiences, delivers a
comprehensive overview of Icelandic linguistic and cultural
heritage in North America. Drawn from the findings of a three-year
study involving over two hundred participants from Manitoba, North
Dakota, Saskatchewan, and the Pacific West Coast, Icelandic
Heritage in North America reveals the durability and versatility of
the Icelandic language. Editors Birna Arnbjoernsdottir, Hoeskulder
THrainsson, and Ulfar Bragason bring together a range of
interdisciplinary scholarship to investigate the endurance of the
"Western Icelander." Chapters delve into the literary works of
Icelandic immigrant writers and interpret archival letters,
newspapers, and journal entries to provide both qualitative and
quantitative linguistic analyses and to mark significant cultural
shifts between early settlement and today. Icelandic Heritage in
North America offers an in-depth examination of Icelandic immigrant
identity, linguistic evolution, and legacy.
