When I arrived in the United States from Poland in the late 1970s, I was basically unfamiliar with current American sociology and historiography. This included American Jewish studies, a field of particular interest to me. During the first decade of my stay in the United States, I read widely in all of these fields, especially in the area in which I wanted to pursue my own research: a historical sociology of immigration to the United States from the late-nineteenth century to the present, with special attention to East European settlers. Together with classics such as Irving Howe’s World of Our Fathers (1976) and Moses Rischin’s The Promised City (1962), Deborah Dash Moore’s At Home in America provided me with a basic education in the history of East European Jews in New York City or, as I originally thought, in America in general. Informative and engagingly written, At Home in America was a great pleasure to read, and I returned to it several times during the process of my American Jewish scholarly education to recheck specific details, the author’s interpretations, and the sources upon which she relied.
