Contents:

Russian immigration: the third wave -- Theoretical framework and methodology -- Prodigal children of Mother Russia: background information on Russian immigrants -- -- Culture: change of the cultural perception -- Culture: individualism versus collectivism -- In search of self: self-identification and identity transformation among Russian immigrants -- Identity: sense of belonging -- Language change and language maintenance.

In: Contributions to the sociology of language no:99Summary: The book presents a broad interdisciplinary perspective on the contemporary Russian immigration to three countries: the United States, Germany, and Israel. The changes and transformations in three domains, i.e., cultural perception, self-identification, and attitudes to first language maintenance, are explored through the Acculturation Framework that allows bringing together these essential aspects of immigration. A separate look at Jewish and Russian ethnic groups within the so-called "Russian" immigration as well as its interdisciplinary nature sets this book apart from other studies on recent immigration from the former USSR.
