German migrant historians in North America transatlantic careers and scholarship after 1945

The book explores the migration experiences, career paths, and scholarship of historians of German birth who emigrated to North America since the late 1950s and made their academic careers in Canada or the United States, and examines their impact on the transatlantic practice and project of Central European History. The book analyzes the experiences of this considerable group, and, asks what informed both their education and career choices and motivated them to emigrate to North America. It inspects how their migration experiences informed their own research and teaching; and discusses more generally the development of the transatlantic exchange between German and American historians in the scholarship on Modern German Central European History.
