Focusing on the life of people from the perspective of the social historian, the book explores a wide range of subjects: peasant society and the cause of European migration, population growth and industrial development, the ideology of progress and Catholic thought, and urban politics and the dynamic of prejudice.

A new Preface by the author reflects upon the book's intellectual origins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oscar Handlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674079868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674079861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Belknap Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.50w x 1.03d","brand":"Oscar Handlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640564797695,"sku":"9780674079861","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e1a84cd-c6b1-4061-8958-99a11ef0e66b.jpg?v=1740669967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bostons-immigrants-1790-1880-oscar-handlin-9780674079861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
