Ethnic Historians and the Mainstream

Shaping America's Immigration Story

Herausgeber: Kraut, Alan M; Gerber, David A

Beschreibung

This collection presents eleven original essays by historians whose own ethnic backgrounds shaped the choices they have made about their research and writing as scholars. These authors, historians of American immigration and ethnicity, revisited family and personal experiences and reflect on how their lives helped shape their later scholarly pursuits. They address issues of diversity, multiculturalism, and assimilation in academia, in the discipline of history, and in society at large.
