Book Description
"Incorporated in 1887, South St. Paul grew rapidly as the blue-collar counterpart to the bright lights and sophistication of its cosmopolitan neighbors Minneapolis and St. Paul. Its prosperous stockyards and slaughterhouses ranked the city among America's largest meatpacking centers. The proud city fell on hard economic times in the second half of the twentieth century. Broad swaths of empty buildings were razed as an enticement to promised redevelopment programs that never happened. In 1990, South St. Paul began to chart out its own successful path to renewal with a pristine riverfront park, a trail system and a business park where the stockyards once stood. Author and historian Lois A. Glewwe brings the story of the city's revival to life in this history of a remarkable community"--Back cover.

Book Description
In addition to the problem of language, conducting oral histories with immigrant narrators often requires special considerations: past violence, cultural sensitivity, and lack of trust. Yet, these narrators are often witnesses to, or participants in, important historical events, or can describe otherwise-undocumented social phenomena. The first book to focus specifically on oral history practices with immigrant narrators, it -gives both the novice and experienced oral historian insights into their narrators’ needs;-provides the tools to effectively plan and execute an oral history project in an immigrant community;-includes case studies, additional resources, and templates of important oral history processes.

Book Description
Dr. Roceric conducted research between 1975 to 1981. She interviewed more than 240 Americans of Romanian descent in communities including Detroit, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; New York, New York; and South St. Paul and St. Paul, Minnesota. Roceric documents her research process, gives examples of responses to questions during her interviews, discusses language use and preservation among different groups of immigrants (1st generation, 2nd, etc.) and concludes that Romanian-Americans maintain their ethnic language for reasons related to pride and identity. Her questionnaire and a Selected Bibliography are included.
