The Armenian-American community has grown and prospered since the turn of the twentieth century Greater tolerance of ethnic differences in the host society the remarkable social mobility of many Armenian-Americans and the influx of large numbers of new immigrants from the Middle East and Soviet bloc in recent decades have contributed to this development The future of this community however remains precarious as it strives to adjust to the ever changing social economic and political conditions affecting Armenians in the US; the Diaspora; and the new Republic of Armenia Armenian-Americans will be of interest to sociologists anthropologists and social historians and of course to people of Armenian ancestry
