American Swiss villages, West Virginia
In his impressive book Helvetia: The History of a Swiss Village in the Mountains of West Virginia, David H. Sutton presents a candid and vivid history of a solitary American community and connects it to the larger themes, movements, and events of the nation as a whole. This is above all a local history, but the success of the work lies in Sutton's depiction of how Helvetia and its residents-since its inception - responded to important national events. The immigration boom of the nineteenth century, World War I, and the rise of technology in the twentieth century ~.11 ~make appearances in the narrative of Helvetia. That narrative is grounded heavily in the European roots of the village and the role immigration played in the town's development and legacy. As a result, Sutton's work represents a significant contribution to ethnic and immigration studies in American history, as well as an important example of how historians must capture and depict local history.

Katika kitabu chake Helvetia: Historia ya Kijiji cha Uswisi katika Milima ya West Virginia, David H. Sutton anatoa historia ya wazi na ya wazi ya jamii ya Marekani ya upweke na kuunganisha na mandhari kubwa, harakati, na matukio ya taifa nzima. Hii ni juu ya yote historia ya ndani, lakini mafanikio ya kazi iko katika uchoraji wa Sutton wa jinsi Helvetia na wakazi wake - tangu kuanzishwa kwake - walivyoitikia matukio muhimu ya kitaifa. Kuongezeka kwa uhamiaji katika karne ya kumi na tisa, Vita Kuu ya Kwanza ya Dunia, na kuongezeka kwa teknolojia katika karne ya ishirini, huonekana katika hadithi ya Helvetia. Hadithi hiyo inategemea sana mizizi ya Ulaya ya kijiji hicho na jukumu la uhamiaji katika maendeleo na urithi wa mji huo. Kama matokeo, kazi ya Sutton inawakilisha mchango mkubwa kwa masomo ya kikabila na uhamiaji katika historia ya Amerika, na pia mfano muhimu wa jinsi wanahistoria wanapaswa kukamata na kuelezea historia ya ndani.
