The Second Generation

It provides an admirable overview of the very heterogeneous second generation in the USA, and will certainly stimulate further research in the field. • German Historical Institute London Bulletin Especially the systematic approach turns the volume into an impressive stock-taking of a research area that should be examine further with innovative methods and original questions. • H-Soz-Kult This book represents a deeply personal, intellectually challenging, and historically important undertaking. I cannot recommend highly enough a book that packs so much learning and passion, tragedy and promise, between two covers. • James Retallack , Professor of History, University of Toronto; Killam Research Fellow 2015-17 This volume brings together memoirs from key second-generation historians, reminiscences from colleagues and students, and a detailed reference section containing critical biographical and professional information. It is a valuable resource. • Marion Deshmukh , George Mason University Informationen zum Autor James J.
