Special issue of PMHB on Immigration & Ethnicity! Free to read online through Dec. 16
The October 2016 issue of the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography (PMHB), "Immigration and Ethnicity in Pennsylvania History," has now been published.
How do people from different cultural backgrounds and identities coexist, interact, and flourish together, and on what terms? In this special issue of the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, we bring together scholars of Pennsylvania history to revisit some of these questions using current approaches to immigration and ethnicity.
This issue is now available in print and online via JSTOR. It can also be read for FREE online through December 16 at https://issuu.com/historical_pa/docs/pmhb_oct2016_issuu.
