Using survey data and research sourced from previous studies, Maass constructs a comprehensive description of motivations leading to name changes for immigrants to the United States and the individual and cultural impacts of these changes. “The name changers acted in the belief that a new cognomen would enhance their adjustment. Their actions showed that in their image of America and their role in the new country there existed certain tensions, difficulties, conflicts and also hopes of overcoming them. ” (Page 171) OCLC lists 3 copies worldwide.
