"Writing from the bottom up, Soyer provokes us to rethink the dimensions of the immigrant experience and its construction. His deep familiarity with both American and Jewish culture, his sensitivity to the nuances of organizational expression and his vision of the complex processes of social change that create ethnic identity make the book compelling reading . . . this is social history at its best."?Deborah Dash Moore, Journal of Jewish Studies

"In this gracefully written study, Soyer highlights another aspect of the American Jewish mosaic. Until now no scholar has explored the nature of landsmanshaftn with such profundity. By doing research in both English and Yiddish sources, and by analyzing them so well, Soyer has enormously expanded our understanding of immigrant associations. Everyone concerned with the lives and interests of Jewish immigrants will be grateful for this accomplishment."?Leonard Dinnerstein, The Historian
