This richly illustrated program traces German immigration to Iowa, highlighting the diverse roles played by the Germans in our state and in the greater Davenport area. If time permits, we may draw contrasts between the experience of the Germans and of more recent immigrant groups.
Phil Webber is Professor Emeritus of German and Linguistics at Central College in Pella, Iowa. A primary focus of his on-site research has been patterns of ethnicity and language use in Iowa communities.
