The Hungarian community of the United States emerged during the last decades of the nineteenth century and flourished throughout much of the twentieth. Scholarly historical writing about this community, however, did not start to surface until nearly a century after its birth. When such works began to appear, the best came not from its members, but from a historian in Hungary, Julianna Puskás. After publishing a number of specialized articles and monographs, she has presented us with an overview of the subject, which is one of the volumes in the Ellis Island series of American immigration and ethnic histories. From the 1880s to the 1960s, Hungarians came to the United States in relatively large numbers. They brought with them their customs, culture, traditions—along with their religious, linguistic, class, occupational, and ideological ties. Their immigrant experiences reinforced some of those and weakened others. Still other bonds were developed by the newcomers after their arrival in America. Those bonds gave rise to what we might call sub-ethnic identities, which, according to Puskás, were particularly abundant and marked among the people who came to the United States from Hungary. All in all, the ties served both to bind and to divide—in a complex and ever-changing manner—the communities that immigrants from Hungary established here. The story of their interplay is told in this book in an effective and highly readable manner
