Part of the Ethnic Heritage in America curriculum materials, this unit is about Greeks in the United States. The first section presents basic facts, such as a map of Greece, map of Eastern Europe, facts about Greece, historical chronological outline, list of Greeks in U.S. history, bibliography about Greeks, Greek publications in the United States, and a list of Greek organizations and information centers in the United States. The next section discusses Greek involvement in early settlement of North America at New Smyrna, Florida, and their traditions of baptism, the Christmas season, and wedding ceremonies. A third section presents information on the Greek migration to the United States and employment of Greeks, as well as their mosaic art, Karagiozi Theater, and folk music. The cultural patterns in Europe and USSR are discussed in the next section in light of some illustrious Greek Americans, some Greeks who contributed to American life, and the Greek historical consciousness. The Greek community organizations and independence day celebration are included in a section about conflicting interests within the United States. The last section focuses on the challenge of an interdependent world, especially emphasizing Greek concerns for human rights and religion. Each section is divided into two parts--one denotes the theme of contributions of Greeks to American life and/or their integration into American life and the second part refers to the relationship of Greek Americans to Greece and/or their retention of ethnicity in the United States.
