Reviews

“Goldberg recounts [the] story in lively fashion, supplementing the narrative with relevant quantitative information. This is a balanced and attractive model for regional ethnic-economic history.”—American Historical Review
“[Goldberg’s] research is truly prodigious, and he has uncovered a great deal of important information. Pieces together a previously unknown story, utilizes innovative methodologies, and serves as an interesting case study of an agricultural colony’s rise and fall.”—The Journal of American History
