Reviews / Votes
"The contributions to this volume manage impressively to show the interconnections between life and work, describing the professional developments against the background of emigration as well as demonstrating the influence of the refugee experience on their historical works." * Zeitschrift fuer Geschichtswissenschaft"This book sheds new light on a hitherto little-researched subject and will remain a standard work for years to come. It provides an admirable overview of the very heterogeneous second generation in the USA, and will certainly stimulate further research in the field." * German Historical Institute London Bulletin
"Especially the systematic approach turns the volume into an impressive stock-taking of a research area that should be examine further with innovative methods and original questions." * H-Soz-Kult
"This book represents a deeply personal, intellectually challenging, and historically important undertaking. I cannot recommend highly enough a book that packs so much learning and passion, tragedy and promise, between two covers." * James Retallack, Professor of History, University of Toronto; Killam Research Fellow 2015-17
"This volume brings together memoirs from key second-generation historians, reminiscences from colleagues and students, and a detailed reference section containing critical biographical and professional information. It is a valuable resource." * Marion Deshmukh, George Mason University

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
