Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Hooglund describes in this article the formation of the
Arabic-speaking community in Waterville, Maine from about 1890 to 1940. The paper is
divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the years from 1890 to 1915; the period when most of
the actual immigration took place. It is in this section where the origins of the
immigrants are discusses as well as their reasons for settling in Waterville. Part 2
focuses upon the transformation between 1915 and 1940 of the immigrant community into an
ethnic one (p. 86).
