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.
