German Migrant Historians in North America

The experiences of German born historians who started emigrating to North America in the 1950s has had a unique impact on the practice and project of Central European History. German Migrant Historians in North America intimately reviews these historians’ experiences, career paths, scholarship, motivations and their contribution to Modern German Central European History.

The migration experiences, career paths, and scholarship of historians born in Germany who started emigrating to North America in the 1950s have had a unique impact on the transatlantic practice of Central European History. German Migrant Historians in North America analyzes the experiences of this postwar group of scholars, and asks what informed their education and career choices, and what motivated them to emigrate to North America. The contributors reflect on how these migration experiences informed their own research and teaching, and particularly discuss the more general development of the transatlantic exchange between German and American historians in the scholarship on Modern Central European History.
