  • "How America's immigrants became white"

http://schema.org/description

  • "[This book] tells in detail how the "new immigrants" from Eastern and Southern Europe who poured into the country in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries went from being an "in-between" racial group to one that was unequivocally white. [In the book, he] insists on the power of words without losing sight of the messiness of everyday life - a complexity that ever-changing terminologies of race and ethnicity have failed to simplify. [He also offers an] investigation of that historical zone where institutions, ideas, and street-level experiences meet and give form to one another. -Dust jacket."
