Abstract
In this essay, guest editors Robert Bussel and Daniel J. Tichenor introduce a special issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly following the November 2016 symposium, “Oregon Migrations,” that gathered scholars and activists to discuss how human migration has affected the state's development. The essay provides a context for the articles in this issue, which include the stories of tribal peoples, Roma (gypsies), Mam refugees from Guatemala, African American migrants, and undocumented workers from Mexico. According to Bussel and Tichenor, those groups all “made claims for recognition and belonging that reflect a long tradition of challenging the hegemony of Euro-American settler-colonialists in Oregon who consciously created mythic images of pioneer virtue to reinforce their sense of entitlement and privilege.”
