Oscar Handlin (1915–2011) was an American historian. As a professor of history at Harvard University for over 50 years, he directed 80 PhD dissertations and helped promote social and ethnic history, virtually inventing the field of immigration history in the 1950s. Handlin won the 1952 Pulitzer Prize for History for The Uprooted (1951). Handlin's 1965 testimony before Congress was said to "have played an important role" in passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that abolished the discriminatory immigration quota system in the US.

rdfs:comment	Oscar Handlin (* 29. September 1915 in New York City; † 20. September 2011 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) war ein US-amerikanischer Historiker. Als Geschichtsprofessor an der Harvard University betreute er während seiner über 50 Jahre dauernden Tätigkeit 80 Dissertationen und trug zur Förderung der Sozial- und Ethnogeschichte bei, wobei er in den 1950er-Jahren den Bereich der Einwanderungsgeschichte begründete. Handlin erhielt 1952 den Pulitzer-Preis für Geschichte für The Uprooted. Handlins Aussage vor dem Kongress im Jahr 1965 soll eine wichtige Rolle bei der Verabschiedung des Immigration and Naturalization Services Act of 1965 gespielt haben, mit dem das diskriminierende Einwanderungsquotensystem in den USA abgeschafft wurde. (de) Oscar Handlin (29 septembre 1915 – 20 septembre 2011) est un historien américain. Professeur d'histoire à Harvard pendant plus de 50 ans, il contribue à la promotion de l'histoire sociale et ethnique, et est l'une des figures du nouveaux champ qu'est l'histoire de l'immigration, dans les années 1950. Il remporte en 1952 le prix Pulitzer d'histoire pour son livre, (en), publié en 1951. Ses interventions devant le Congrès américain jouent un rôle important pour le passage des lois du Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, qui abolit le système de quota migratoire discriminant aux États-Unis mis en place par la loi d'immigration Johnson-Reed.
