  abstract: Examines German immigrant associations in New York from the 1890s to the 1930s. Through a combination of statistical and textual analyses, it explores the class composition of these associations, their system of mutual aid, and their political activities. Offers insights into how specific socio-economic motivations influenced immigrant organization and collective action, including aspects such as long-distance nationalism and cross-border ethnic identity. Demonstrates that immigrant associations played a crucial role in helping their members adapt to a new social and economic environment and why and how they significantly shaped the image of German immigrants in American social and political life.
