Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the conditions faced by the Italian population of Milwaukee from 1900-1915, drawing on extensive interviews and surveys. It reveals the challenging conditions faced by the immigrants in their transition from rural farming life to urban factory labor in America, particularly for women and children. The author, an Italian immigrant himself, deftly analyzes their motivations for leaving Italy, the disparities they encountered in wages and social integration, and the impact on family life brought on by the need for additional income and boarding practices in overcrowded housing. A well-rounded exploration of the Italian community's health, education, and challenges, this book humanizes the immigrant experience through personal stories while providing valuable historical context. By presenting a more complete picture of the immigrant experience, this book challenges assumptions about the experiences of Italian immigrants in America.
