Sinopsis
Excerpt from Leadership of the New America: Racial and Religious
Attention was concentrated in certain cities on special nationalities that had important colonies in those cities; and an efiort was made to see leaders representing both sides of questions whether of national, economic or re ligious interest. The conditions described are the con ditions of today, and will change tomorrow. Hence the usefulness of the information is largely temporary, though for the present I trust that it is accurate. It is at least fresh, for it was gathered at first hand.

Excerpt from Leadership of the New America: Racial and Religious
The following chapters have been written in the hope that they may be of as much interest and suggestiveness to others as the facts which they attempt to portray have been to me. They are based on a study of "Immigrant Leadership" undertaken during the year 1915-1916 under the Bemardine Orme Smith Fellowship of McCormick Theological Seminary.
Investigations were carried on in many immigrant communities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where mines, mills, homes, schools, churches, labor meetings, national and social gatherings were visited. Personal interviews were held with several hundred leaders among the immigrants. Included in this number were government officials, settlement workers, priests, Protestant pastors, freethinkers, foreign-language newspaper editors, socialists, I. W. W. leaders, saloonkeepers, doctors, lawyers and many others.
An effort was made not so much to look into the wage, housing and political conditions of the immigrants as to study the men who in various lines are leaders, and the movements which are at present on foot, among our immigrants from southern and eastern Europe. This was done with the hope that it might throw some light on the perplexing problem of the training of Protestant religious leaders for work among our immigrant population.
The study does not purport to be dther exhaustive or complete, but merely suggestive, in its sununary of the leaders and the nationalities with which it deals.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on the compelling stories of immigrant leaders who, upon arriving in the United States, sought more than mere hospitalityâ"they aspired for democracy, freedom, tolerance, opportunity, and happiness. Spanning from the Pilgrim Fathers' landing to the experiences of recent immigrants, this book weaves tales of struggle, determination, and hope, arguing that the stories of immigrants are as much a part of the American narrative as the stories of the founding fathers. The text reveals the striking presence of various immigrant nationalities in the US, each with distinct aspirations and challenges. It explores the significant role of organized crime in immigrant communities, the ongoing battle for better labor conditions, and the complex relationship between immigrants and organized religion. The author highlights the crucial role of immigrant leaders, from traditional figures to those influenced by nationalistic sentiments, education, business, and economic conditions, in shaping the lives of their communities. Through these stories, the book argues that the real immigrant problem is a test of the American people and their willingness to assimilate newcomers, urging readers to recognize that immigrants are people just like themselvesâ"with hopes, dreams, and a desire to contribute to their new homeland.
