About this book
The Promised Land is the 1912 autobiography of Mary Antin (1881-1949), who came as a child from the Russian Pale of Settlement to Boston and turned her own passage into one of the classic immigrant narratives. She tells of pogrom-shadowed childhood, the crossing, and her hungry embrace of American schooling and opportunity, in prose that made the book a best-seller and a staple of the Americanisation era. It remains a central text of Jewish-American and immigrant literature.
