Abstract
Gustafson provides an in-depth look at each of these denominations and their development, including a list of all the churches, the year established and location in Chicago. Even though there were often divisive views in religious dogma and social mores, the result, Gustafson writes, "was a very dynamic, diverse, divided and dispersed Swedish community, rooted solidly on the proliferating and changing neighborhoods in which Swedish immigrants lived." Anita Olson Gustafson in I Swedish Chicago: The Shaping of an Immigrant Community, 1880-1920 i focuses strictly on the Swedes in Chicago who settled between 1880 and 1920 and challenges the view that the community life "eroded" when people moved to other areas.
