aproximativ 47 de milioane de indivizi, dintre care 35,9 milioane erau europeni, precizîndu-se că „The stream was relatively continuous from 1820 to 1924 with only brief interruptions caused by the Civil War and occasional periods of economic downturns such as the depression of the 1890’s, the panic of 1907-1908, and the Great Depression of the 1930s. World War II, of course, also greatly reduced the numbers emigrating. In fact, 32 million of the 35,9 million Europeans who came

many if not most, of the Romanians immigrating in the first two decades of the twentieth century were not immigrants at all, for they had little intention of staying in America permanently. It was the phase known in Romanian parlance as Mia și drumul, a thousand dollars and home again”. Deși problema comportă Încă discuții, considerăm că putem vorbi despre o emigrație a românilor În SUA În deceniul ce precedă izbucnirea Primului Război Mondial, chiar dacă mulți transilvăneni, bucovineni și bănățeni se Întorceau În

stabilit că „the greatest numbers of Romanians settled in the industrial heartland of the mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes states. The largest concentrations and the most active communal life were in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Moderate-seized cities such as Youngstown, Canton, Alliance, Warren, and Akron, Ohio; Farrell, Sharon, New Castle, Ellwood City, McKeesport, Homestead, Erie, Johanstown, and Scalp Level, Pa.; and East Chicago and Gary, Ind., also developed substantial colonies.

fellow nationals from the same region or village lived”. Convingerea acestui istoric, informat și pertinent În afirmațiile avansate În această chestiune, este că „perhaps one-third of the Romanian newcomers in the larger cities were solitary migrants who had not come as part of a chain migration; these were the most likely eventually to return home”. În chiar zilele noastre, Alexandru Nemoianu considera că „În covîrșitoarea lor majoritate românii emigrați la Începutul veacului al XX-lea s-au așezat În marile orașe

fără să «conștientizeze», comunitatea românilor-americani a devenit parte a Lumii Noi și și-a stabilit caracterul pe care Îl are și astăzi”. Gerald J.

of the first generation by the 1970s, and the end of unlimited immigration, a recent estimate of some 85,000 ethnic Romanians in the United States and Canada, i.e., those themselves or with parents born abroad, might be fairly valid as of 1978”. Radu Toma concluziona, În 1979, că „it is presently estimated at about 200-230,000 people. This means that one out of every thousand Americans is of Romanian stock”.

foarte complicată, iar aceste cifre sînt cunoscute, chiar dacă ele suscită Încă unele Îndoieli ce ar reclama eventuale reajustări. Trebuie să recunoaștem, așa cum releva În 1988 Samuel Beck, că „Romanians started arriving in the United States at about the same time as other southern and eastern Europeans to make their fortunes and return home with affluence.

Furthermore, unlike the Hungarians, Czechs, Poles, or Yugoslavs, Romanians have not rebelled against their leadership to such an extent as to generate an influx of unsympathetic, anti-communist refugees and exiles.

Americans have developed scholarly directions in the study of their fellow compatriots, and have brought their work into public circulation. Finally, Romania has not been of such strategic importance to America to merit the study of its peoples and cultures as a high priority.

amintim că un practician ilustru al realismului politic, Henry Kissinger (care, de altfel, a vizitat și el România În 1974), rostea la un moment dat o frază antologică, reluînd formula lui Margaret Thatcher: „Human rights? There is no such thing as human rights!” (Drepturile omului? Nu există așa ceva!). Experiența arată că, Într-adevăr, administrațiile americane nu se jenaseră să colaboreze cu regimuri dictatoriale, dacă interesele geopolitice o cereau...
