Extract

John Bodnar’s Scholarship has touched—and even helped shape—current debates in several related historical sub-disciplines, including labor history, Afro-American history, and family history. He is, of course, also a leading public historian. During a period in the historians’ craft decried for its myopic compartmentalization and narrow specialization, the connectedness of Bodnar’s work to a range of social science concerns, themes, and issues makes it especially compelling for us. Yet Professor Bodnar has forged a record of research—praiseworthy for its quality no less than for its quantity—that clearly has impressed his colleagues, inspired new graduate students, and generally enlivened the field of immigration and ethnic history. It is on that central focus of his work that I wish to dwell here.
