Reviews
'Rarely does a historical study illuminate subject, methodology, and theory all at once. Letters Across Borders is just such a book. It is a marvelous collection of essays that should be read and re-read by every historian who works in migration studies and indeed by all scholars who seek to understand and interpret the human experience through personal correspondence.' - Kerby A. Miller, University of Missouri-Columbia '...a coherent, thoughtfully structured and enlightening overview. Philosophical reflections are blended with methodological discussions and empirical studies, creating an unprecedented and broad-based context within which to study migrant epistolarity...It is a long overdue addition to the historiography of migration and should be obligatory reading for every historian who seeks to get to grips with the pitfalls and rewards of interpreting personal correspondence.' - Marjory Harper, English Historical Review, "Well suited to genealogists and family historians with an interest in migration studies.""--Family Chronicle""" "The anthology's contributions concerning twentieth-century letters are especially valuable for their consideration of writing contexts that present new opportunities for scholarly inquiry." --Jennifer Eastman Attebery, "Journal of American Ethnic History""" ..".useful for scholars and citizens in their commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue, synthesis of data with theory, and creative questions across fields that force us to consider wider implications of immigration...The volume is instructive in its range of methods from quantitative to institutional to textual readings."--Gary W. McDonogh, "Journal of World History"
