520 2  "A panoramic, eye-opening history of the vast migration of
       Eastern Europeans to the West by a recent winner of a 
       MacArthur Fellowship. Between 1846 and 1940, more than 50 
       million Europeans moved to the Americas, irrevocably 
       changing both their new lands and the ones they left 
       behind. Their immigration fostered an idea of the 'land of
       the free,' and yet more than a third returned home again. 
       In a groundbreaking study, Tara Zahra brilliantly explores
       the deeper story of this unprecedented movement of people.
       As villages emptied, some blamed traffickers in human 
       labor, targeting Jewish emigration agents. Others saw 
       opportunity: to seed colonies of migrants like the Polish 
       community in Argentina, or to gain economic advantage from
       an inflow of foreign currency, or to reshape their 
       populations by encouraging the emigration of minorities. 
       These precedents would shape the Holocaust, the closing of
       the Iron Curtain, and tragedies of ethnic cleansing, while
       also forming notions of social solidarity, human rights, 
       and freedom--whether it be the freedom to move or the 
       freedom to stay home"--Provided by publisher.
