Julianna Puskás. Ties That Bind, Ties That Divide: 100 Years of Hungarian Experience in the United States. Translated by Zora Ludwig. (Ellis Island Series.) New York: Holmes and Meier. 2000. Pp. xix, 444. $45.00.

Probably the world's most distinguished historian of Hungarian emigration, Julianna Puskás offers a comprehensive overview of a relatively understudied immigrant group covering the period from roughly the 1870s through the 1970s. Though Puskás emphasizes Cleveland's large Hungarian settlement and, for case material, immigrants from her own family's home village, she draws extensively on Hungarian and English-language sources, migration statistics, and oral histories to write a study national in scope. 1

While Puskás grounds her work in theories of dependency and uneven development, their imprint shows principally in an emigration chapter detailing Hungary's transition from feudalism to capitalism. The bulk of the volume follows lines familiar to historians of European immigration: economic change, migration, the organization of immigrant communities, assimilation, intergenerational conflict, ethnic group formation, and homeland relations. Puskás, however, presents a sophisticated, intelligent, nuanced account, even if one without major revisionist surprises. . . .
