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. In The
Promised Land, Antin recounts the many obstacles she encountered
before and after emigrating to the U.S. Arriving in 1894, she
details the years in Boston where she attempted to assimilate while
facing religious, political and financial challenges. Despite
hidden pitfalls and social barriers, Antin continued to make
strides towards her American dream. 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.
