How I Learned to Call America “the States” and Became an American Jewish Historian

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

There are many things in life (indeed, most things) that one does not anticipate. Becoming an American Jewish historian was, for me, one of those things. I am not even sure that I can accurately say that I set out to be a professional historian at all. But given the direction that I took in graduate school, I would seem to have chosen a course toward the study and teaching of Russian and East European Jewish history. Had I remained in the United States, I believe that I would have carried on in that field.
