What I wrote right after finishing this book was that it tells the story of the other side of European immigration into the US, and how many only came to earn money that they were unable to do at home, intending to return as soon as they accomplished their goal. Contained many tidbits and insights into the entire immigration era, including those that wound up staying anyway. Read as part of my research into my Italian family history.

"Historians of migration will welcome Mark Wyman's new book on the elusive subject of persons who returned to Europe after coming to the United States. Other scholars have dealt with particular national groups . . . but Wyman is the first to treat . . . every major group . . . . Wyman explains returning to Europe as not just the fulfillment of original intentions but also the result of 'anger at bosses and clocks, nostalgia for waiting families,' nativist resentment and heavy-handed Americanization programs, and a complex of other problems. . . . Wyman's 'nine broad conclusions' about the returnees deserve to be read by everyone concerned with international migration."--Journal of American History Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
