Description

In 1980, the University of Oklahoma Press published a ten-book series titled Newcomers to a New Land that described and analyzed the role of the major ethnic groups that have contributed to the history of Oklahoma. The series was once a part of Oklahoma Image, a project sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and the Oklahoma Library Association and made conceivable by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In response to a large number of requests, the University of Oklahoma Press has reissued all ten volumes in the series. Published unaltered from the original editions, these books continue to have both historical and cultural value for reasons the series editorial committee stated as well.

“Though not large in number as in comparison to those in some states, immigrants from quite a lot of European nations left a marked have an effect on on Oklahoma’s history. As in the larger United States, they worked in many economic and social roles that enriched the state’s life. Indians have played a an important part in Oklahoma’s history, even to giving the state her name. Blacks and Mexicans have also fulfilled a special set of roles, and will continue to impact Oklahoma’s future. The history of each and every of these groups is unique, well worth remembering to both their heirs and to other people in the state and nation. Their stories come from the past, but continue on the future.”
