Lives of Their Own : Blacks, Italians, and Poles in Pittsburgh, 1900-1960 Paperback / softback

Part of the Working Class in American History series

Paperback / softback

Description

Lives of Their Own depicts the strikingly different lives of black, Italian, and Polish immigrants in Pittsburgh.

Within a comparative framework, the book focuses on the migration process itself, job procurement, and occupational mobility, family structure, home-ownership, and neighborhood institutions.

By blending oral histories with quantitative data, the authors have created a convincing multilayered portrait of working-class life in one of our great industrial cities.
