PDF The Tribe of Black Ulysses: African American Lumber Workers in the Jim Crow South (Working Class in American History) by William P. Jones in History

Description

A classroom staple; Immigrant Voices: New Lives in America; 1773-2000 has been updated with writings that reflect trends in immigration to the United States through the turn of the twenty-first century. New chapters include a selection of letters from Irish immigrants fleeing the famine of the 1840s; writings from an immigrant who escaped the civil war in Liberia during the 1980s; and letters that crossed the U.S.-Mexico border during the late 1980s and early '90s. With each addition editor Thomas Dublin has kept to his original goals; which was to show the commonalities of the U.S. immigrant experience across lines of gender; nation of origin; race; and even time.
