Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign-Born Neighbors There are seven states in the Union where the Immigra tion Problem is most acute. At the head of these stand Massachusetts and Rhode Island. These two common wealths have, estimated in percentage of population, more foreign-born peoples than any state in the Union. The serious industrial, social and political questions, precipitated by more than thirty percent of the population being peoples of varied tongues, customs, and habits, have commanded the attention of statesmen, educators, reformers and philanthropists. Ev ery productive organization in the two states have, again and again, discussed the Problem of Immigration; and both state and municipal legislators have readily enacted laws planned to meet the ills specified by intelligent public-spirited individuals. The laws designed to wipe out the black spots due to immigra tion were welcomed; the police executing these laws have rendered valiant service; the courts have interpreted and en forced these laws; and, yet, we all feel we want something more before the Immigration Problem is solved. We need a sane, simple, and practical plan to meet the foreigner's needs we need sympathetic, intelligent, and patriotic men to take the foreigner by the hand and teach him what we mean in a Democracy by the tie that binds. This manual, by Dr. George W. Tupper, is an exposition of sane, simple and practical methods to help in the process of assimilating foreign-speaking men. They are now in practise, and back of them are five years' experience. Thou sands of foreigners have been helped by these plans. They can be used by any group of men, moved by enthusiasm for humanity. The author in giving this concise, illuminating, and pictorial presentation of the Problem of Immigration in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, together with tested and tried plans for its solution, is contributing a treatise of in estimable worth to every patriot in these states.

Download or read book Making a Global Immigrant Neighborhood written by Tarry Hum and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on more than a decade of research, Making a Global Immigrant Neighborhood charts the evolution of Sunset Park--with a densely concentrated working-poor and racially diverse immigrant population--from the late 1960s to its current status as one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods. Tarry Hum shows how processes of globalization, such as shifts in low-wage labor markets and immigration patterns, shaped the neighborhood. She explains why Sunset Park's future now depends on Asian and Latino immigrant collaborations in advancing common interests in community building, civic engagement, entrepreneurialism, and sustainability planning. She shows, too, how residents' responses to urban development policies and projects and the capital represented by local institutions and banks foster community activism. Hum pays close attention to the complex social, political, and spatial dynamics that forge a community and create new models of leadership as well as coalitions. The evolution of Sunset Park so astutely depicted in this book suggests new avenues for studying urban change and community development.

Amelia, at the glance, rose quickly, dropped her sewing, and hurried out and down the stairs. The front door was open, she knew, and though there was never anything to be afraid of, still the house was in her charge. At the door she met him, just lifting his hand to touch the knocker. He was a tall, weedy fellow of something more than her own age, with light hair and blue eyes and a strangely arrested look, as if he obstinately, and against his own advantage, continued to keep young. Amelia knew him at once, as he did her, though it was twenty years since they had met. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He never could have been handsome: and now fifteen years of rough-and-tumble life had left their stains and scars on his weather-beaten visage, whose only notable features were the deep-set eyes, retreating under shaggy brows, that looked one through and through with the keen glance of honest instinct while a light tattooing of red and blue on either cheek-bone added an element of the grotesque to his homeliness. He was a natural and simple man, with whom conventionalities and the world's scale went for nothing, - without vanity, as without guile. But it is best to let him speak for him self. I found him that night very feverish, yet not wild at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nor do I hold any brief for the Catholic Church as organized and operated South of the Rio Grande. One of the leading Protestant weeklies of the United States has classified me'as an alleged Protestant. That is close enough. This book is inspired by my fixed conviction that the future peace and prosperity of the United States is dependent on our ability to be good neighbors with the people to the South of us. That, in turn, depends on our ability to convince them that we really are sincere in our desire to be friends with them, in spite of our somewhat frantic and often comical efforts to express that desire.
