Huddle Fever: Living in the Immigrant CityA penetrating look at one of the cities where America's Industrial Revolution began - Lawrence, Massachusetts, in whose redbrick mills wave after wave of European immigrants once found ready employment, a city as reflective of American life today as it was in 1900. In Huddle Fever, Jeanne Schinto, herself a granddaughter of Italian immigrants, makes vivid Lawrence's history: the great textile mills, the influx of Europeans, the huddled tenements, the seminal Bread and Roses strike. |
