Russell Kazal
Email
Website
Professor Kazal's research and
teaching
interests are in the social and (broadly defined) political history of
the United States since 1877, with a focus on immigration, ethnicity
and race, urban America, and ideologies of pluralism and nationalism.
His recent book, Becoming Old Stock: The Paradox of
German-American Identity, examines how Americans of German
background, arguably the United States' largest ethnic group, backed
away from that ethnic identity in the early twentieth century and
redefined themselves in ways informed by race, class, religion, and
American nationalism. His current research project, "The Regional and
Transnational Roots of American Multiculturalism," examines the
emergence of popular notions of ethnic pluralism in the late nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries.
