A third anthology, edited by Kosa, John, The Home of the Learned Man: A Symposium on the Immigrant Scholar in America (New Haven, 1968), deals with exiles from communism and voluntary postwar academic immigrants from Britain as well as with German refugees. It too is uneven. A few essays again capture refugee dilemmas with great sharpness, and some of them describe with unusual vividness the shock of adjustment to the very different American academic world.Google Scholar
