“European approaches with distinctly American modes. In the United States, emigre scholars and artists were once again outsiders. They had German accents and upbringings. They were new immigrants in a new land. They were often uncomfortable in their new settings, and they sometimes encountered prejudice or bias in America as well.

Their insider/outsider status helped to fuel their creativity and achievements, often blending European approaches and new American priorities.”
