Mary Antin – författare

The Promised Land is a compelling account of one woman’s journey from Polotsk to Boston and her attempts to embrace a new culture and identity. Author Mary Antin highlights the old values and contemporary views that shaped her immigrant experience.

Although it centers a specific experience, The Promised Land is an aspirational story that speaks to a universal audience. Upon its release, the book was a resounding success for Antin, eventually selling more than 80,000 copies. It propelled her into a career of public speaking, which she used to address anti-immigration sentiment and invoke policy change.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Promised Land is both modern and readable.
