Abstract:

This book offers an interdisciplinary perspective on one of the largest 
immigrant groups in the West. Most of the extant books on the subject of 
Russian immigration are written from a sociological or socio-linguistic 
perspective. They are focused on strictly Jewish immigration or cast the 
immigrant community as "Russian," ignoring the reality of two distinct ethnic 
groups. In addition, none of the extant literature or books is based on an 
empirical, controlled-study of a numerically large group of immigrants. Finally, 
few if any published monographs make use of qualitative as well as 
quantitative methods of analysis or the same theoretical framework to explore 
changes in culture, identity, and language.

The proposed book has several features distinguishing it from the currently 
available scholarship. "Russian Diaspora" examines two distinct ethnic 
groups, relies on empirical data based on sizable groups in three countries, 
and looks into three elements of acculturation (culture, identity, and 
language). Of the 214 people who participated in the present study, 174 are 
Russian immigrants who had resided in the United States, Germany, and 
Israel between ten and thirty years. In addition to offering a combination of 
quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book adopts sociological, socio-
linguistic and psycho-linguistic methods of analysis.
