Description

The famous call of Emma Lazarus to the Old World to “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to respire free” led approximately 35 million immigrants to The united states between 1800 and 1921. Indeed, the original story of The united states is that of the interaction of the native peoples with wave upon wave of folks emigrating from their homelands, including, in fact, the enslavement and compelled movement of millions of Africans. Chapter by chapter the book chronicles the influx of whole populations into the US, form the earliest European settlers of the 17th century to the Asian immigration of the twentieth. The tales of Chinese, Italian, Irish, Jewish, African, English, German, and Scandinavian new comers are all made more poignant by the inclusion of evocative archival photographs from the period. A New World charts the unusual development of a country built by an unprecedented choice of different peoples.
