Beginning at the end of the \u003cbr\u003e19th century, with an influx during the Great War, Assyrians \u003cbr\u003esettled mostly in eastern Massachusetts, finding an abundance of work along its ports and among its large factory base. Concerned with the welfare of their community, these immigrants established a multitude of cultural, social, and political institutions to help promote awareness of Assyria. The establishment of St. Mary's Assyrian Apostolic Church, the first of its kind outside of the Middle East, prompted the solidarity of Assyrians in Massachusetts \u003cbr\u003eand became a model for later settlements of Assyrians in the \u003cbr\u003eUnited States. Through family portraits and documents from both \u003cbr\u003ereligious and secular institutions, Assyrians of Eastern Massachusetts \u003cbr\u003eaddresses the adjustment of this community in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sargon Donabed, Ninos Donabed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531627404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531627409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Sargon Donabed","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995745452287,"sku":"9781531627409","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19575ee4-7478-4177-980d-391deb23e4dd.jpg?v=1683337597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assyrians-of-eastern-massachusetts-sargon-donabed-9781531627409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
