Reviews for To the Other Shore
"Cassedy breaks new ground in this comprehensive study of Russian Jewish intellectual emigres to America from 1880 to 1920. With clear-eyed wisdom, To the Other Shore explores a host of topics, from the influence of nineteenth-century Russian literary criticism to the turn-of-the-century Yiddish press, from Abe Cahan's working-class fiction to Adella Kean Zametkin's daily columns in Der Tog."
