first person view of the turn of immigrant experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I looked at this book as a supplement for an Honors Seminar examining the idea of "happiness." As part of our course, we examined cultural notions of happiness, specifically, "the American Dream." This book provided an easy to read narrative illuminating the idea of the "dream" from outside the borders. I particularly liked the wonderful photographs. These make real the turn of the century America that many immigrants found.
