Despite the importance of historical and contemporary migration to
the American Jewish community, popular awareness of the diversity
and complexity of the American Jewish migration legacy is limited
and largely focused upon Yiddish-speaking Jews who left the Pale of
Settlement in Eastern Europe between 1880 and 1920 to settle in
eastern and midwestern cities.Wandering Jews provides readers with
a broader understanding of the Jewish experience of migration in
the United States and elsewhere. It describes the record of a wide
variety of Jewish migrant groups, including those encountering
different locations of settlement, historical periods, and facets
of the migration experience. While migrants who left the Pale of
Settlement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are
discussed, the volume's authors also explore less well-studied
topics. These include the fate of contemporary Jewish academics who
seek to build communities in midwestern and western college towns;
the adaptation experience of recent Jewish migrants from Latin
America, Israel, and the former Soviet Union; the adjustment of
Iranian Jews; the experience of contemporary Jewish migrants in
France and Belgium; the return of Israelis living abroad; and a
number of other topics. Interdisciplinary, the volume draws upon
history, sociology, geography, and other fields. Written in a
lively and accessible style, Wandering Jews will appeal to a wide
range of readers, including students and scholars in Jewish
studies, international migration, history, ethnic studies, and
religious studies, as well as general-interest readers.
