Anchor Books, Garden City, New York: 1962. 177 pages. Book Excerpt — Back Cover: In this penetrating examination of New York City’s greatest social problem, Oscar Handlin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, discusses the two most recently arrived minority groups and shows how their experience and situation compares with that of such earlier groups of immigrants as the Irish, the Germans, the Italians, and the Jews and what may be expected to happen to them in the future. The low income, non-white family, Mr. Handlin finds, has been rendered helpless by a circular pattern of frustrations from which there has been a little possibility of escape. An improvement in economic status – the non-whites chief hope – depends upon access to education, and this in turn upon the resource of the neighborhood. And so the circle has been kept closed. But a breakthrough at any point would simultaneously offer the chance of improvement at others, and there are indications that these breaks are now beginning to occur. The Newcomers is a volume in the New York Metropolitan Region Study, a project devoted to an examination of the major problems confronting the tri-state New York region and to an estimate of future developments. Oscar Handlin is the author of many books on American immigration, including Race and Nationality in American Life. Thanks for visiting, and have a beautiful day! shelf-8
