Croats in the Cleveland Area from 1900 to 1930: Prolegomena for a Sociological Reception
Renata RELJA
Sažetak
In the article the authoress construes the sociological
reception of available demographic, historical and economic
indicators concerning the first generation of Croatian
immigrants in the United States, in the city of Cleveland, in
the period from 1900 to 1930. Thus, some of the existing
relevant approaches within the framework of the sociology
of migrations are considered. The main goal of the
authoress is to select those factors which can be of
assistance in the analysis of previous migrations in order to
be able to understand better and perceive future migratory
trends within this area. She therefore gives a survey of the
first Croatian immigrants to enter the territory of Ohio, and
then the city of Cleveland, followed by general demographic
indicators (age and gender structure, the level of education,
vocation structure of the first immigrant generation of
Croats), and also informs of the initial social gatherings, i.e.
political, cultural and sports activities of Cleveland Croats. Namely, in the content analysis of relevant material it was
possible to observe the basic patterns of the first emigrant
generation’s life-styles, which can thus be applied on other
emigrant groups as well.
