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. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.

About the author

Mary Antin

Mary Antin transformed migration from Polotsk in the Russian Empire to Boston into two influential accounts of immigration and Americanization. From Plotzk to Boston began as Yiddish letters to an uncle and appeared in English in 1899; Israel Zangwill contributed the foreword.
