Beskrivning

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.

"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."(Journal of American History) A wide-ranging and carefully researched work.... In telling the story of 'temporary immigrants,' Wyman displays a historian's eye for the big picture and a journalist's ear for compelling anecdotes.(Journal of Economic History) This book fills an important lacuna and will prove a welcome text for immigration history courses.(American Historical Review) Wyman has written a fine book about the 4,000,000 or so European immigrants to the United States who arrived in this country between 1880 and 1930 and who chose to return to their native lands.... Even though much of the material is familiar, getting to look at it from another perspective is extraordinarily worthwhile.(Labor History)
