Abstract

This article identifies the Welsh as a distinct ethno-linguistic community in Monroe County, Iowa (USA), at the end of the nineteenth century. It analyses the nature of that community, assesses the extent of involvement in its cultural expression, considers culture maintenance, and suggests that while ethnic integrity was initially maintained, it was ultimately undermined, not only by the general forces of acculturation, but also by specifically Welsh factors. While the Welsh experience in the county differed sharply from the experiences of other nationalities from the United Kingdom, it did not simply mirror that of other non-Anglophone groups.

旧身份，新土地：爱荷华州门罗县的威尔士移民社区，1870-1920

这篇文章认为威尔士人是19世纪末美国爱荷华州门罗县的一个独特的民族语言社区。它分析了该社区的性质，评估了参与其文化表现的程度，考虑了文化的维护，并表明，虽然最初保持了种族完整性，但最终受到破坏，不仅受到文化适应的一般力量的影响，而且受到威尔士特有因素的影响。虽然威尔士人在该县的经历与英国其他民族的经历截然不同，但它并不仅仅反映了其他非英语群体的经历。
