Chaldeans (pronounced Kal-de’an) are a distinct ethnic group from present-day Iraq with roots stretching back to Abraham; the biblical patriarch of Judaism; Christianity; and Islam who was from the “Ur of the Chaldees.†Chaldeans are Catholic; with their own patriarch; and they speak a dialect of Aramaic; the language of Jesus Christ. Chaldeans began immigrating to the United States at the beginning of the 20th century; when Iraq was known as Mesopotamia (the Greek word meaning “land between two rivers;†the Tigris and the Euphrates). Lured by Henry Ford’s promise of $5 per day; many Chaldeans went to work in Detroit’s automotive factories. They soon followed their entrepreneurial instincts to open their own businesses; typically grocery markets and corner stores. Religious persecution has caused tens of thousands of Chaldeans to relocate to Michigan. Today; the Greater Detroit area has the largest concentration of Chaldeans outside of Iraq: 150;000 people.

Volumes are additionally Euro-biased; and occasionally make sentence blunders in regards to minorities that should definitely have been changed prior to final print. And it's incredibly boring.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent conditionBy Lauren A.The rest of my history book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
