About this product
Product Information
From 1870 to 1900, over a half million Russian Jews came to the United States. Russian Jewish emigration had ceased by the 1920s due to the effects of the First World War, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the Quota Acts, but a century later, Jews from the former Soviet Union began to emigrate in large numbers. This detailed account describes the motivations of Russian and Soviet Jews for leaving their homeland and their subsequent adjustments to life in the United States. Simon, a sociologist, provides insight into who these Jewish immigrants were and are, what they accomplished, and how they have been viewed.

Reviews
"A major conceptual strength of In The Golden Land is that it is one of the only studies to consciously understand the nearly 400,000 Jews who have entered the United States from the former Soviet Union since 1970 as the latest cohort in a century-long flow of Eastern European Jews to the United States....A second dimension of this book's value lies in its comprehensive treatment of the experience of Russian/Soviet Jewish immigrants." Contemporary Sociology
