PPT Immigration and Urbanization: United States Transformation, 1861 The Uprooted The American Dream: The Journey of Immigrants in the Early 20th Century Immigrants in America Millions of immigrants moved to the United States. The Uprooted is a rare book, combining powerful feeling and long time study to give us the shape and the feel of the immigrant experience rather than just the facts. It elucidates the hopes and the yearnings of the immigrants that propelled them out of their native environments to chance the hazards of the New World. It traces the profound imprint they made upon this world and how they, in turn, were changed by it. When first published, The Uprooted won the Pulitzer Prize for history. This second edition is enlarged by a supplemental chapter, in which the author examines the meaning of the immigrant experience in light of more recent decades, and by a brilliant bibliographic essay.
