Abstract
Chapter 3’s emphasis is on the Greek immigrants’ need to acculturate, assimilate, and become American, or not, in their new homes. They faced, especially after 1910, extreme prejudice and racism, a rising tide of anti-hyphenation, and a “100 percent Americanism” sentiment that always questioned their patriotism and loyalty to the United States. In post–World War I America these sentiments became more extreme, culminating in the anti-immigration acts of the mid-1920s.
