Checked twitter this morning and surprised that actual people responded to my historiography thread. Definitely makes it the most impactful historiography I have ever written. Thanks! @afrankhistory #twitterstorians

Looking back to Gerber with Samito in mind, the value of migration history comes into better focus. Done well, migration and ethnic history connects to the broader American political and cultural development @afrankhistory #onetweethistory 25/25

This thread traces key works in the historiography of migration to the U.S. before the Civil War, concluding that a revival of broad studies focused on antebellum migration could provide new ways of understanding the development of American political and cultural history 1/25

In conclusion, Samito’s emphasis on citizenship represents a shift away from the focus on ethnic assimilation rooted in Social History. Focusing on citizenship revives a bigger framework, connected with the rise of a political history more in-tune with cultural history. 24/25
