"The story is related in a vivid and illuminating style with such effectiveness that the reader sees before him flesh-and-blood human beings facing the problems of their day just as the people of today meet the economic, social, and political issues that confront them. In contrast to the many other works on immigration, this book treats the nationalistic and racial groups wich migrated to America in a fair and unprejudiced manner. It is documented with some sixty pages of bibliography and footnotes and contains an excellent index."
