Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author analzyes the place of immigration history in North American historiography. She discusses how developments in North American society influenced scholars to explore questions of ethnicity leading to the growth of “ethnic studies” and how the rise of “new” social history in the 1960s and 1970s stimulated much broader thematic perspectives in immigration history. The article also ends with an overview of the most important historiographical works on Croatians in Canada and points to the lack of research concerning the everyday life and experience of Croatian immigrants in North America.
