Explores international migration as a shaping force in modern Jewish history.

This course explores many of the issues raised by the prominence of migration as a feature of modern Jewish migrations, including the similarities and differences between Jewish and non-Jewish migrations of the same time, the causes and structures of the migrations, and the impact of migration on the various aspects of integration in the receiving societies.
