Synopsis
Excerpt from Americans in Process: A Settlement Study
In Boston, as in other large cities, municipal and social reform are much embarrassed by the lack of any kindling realization, even in the minds of sagacious, disinterested persons, of the actual, present-day truth with regard to the urban com munity in the thick of which the drama of their active life is set. The indifierence of the so-called good citizen is largely because his best effort to produce a mental picture of his city in its essential human aspects results in something altogether vague, scattered, out-of - date. Many of the efforts toward better things reflect this lack of mental furnishing in being piecemeal, casual and beside the mark.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the lives of immigrants in Boston's North and West End from the time they were primarily rural areas, through the time they became havens for working class immigrants. The North End, with its limited building space, became the home to many of Boston's poor, particularly Irish and Italian immigrants. The West End had some well-off residents but also many immigrants. While it once was an Irish neighborhood, it now has a large African American population as well. In both areas, industry, religious institutions, and local action shaped the neighborhood's responses to crowding and inadequate housing. The author tells the story of these neighborhoods by describing the lives of their residents in the years before massive immigration, then charts the course of immigration and its effects, and finally details responses to new population patterns and social welfare needs. This book is a rich resource for readers yearning to understand the formation of Boston's distinctive immigrant communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
