Synopsis
Handlin's book, The Uprooted , provides a historical account of the 35,000,000 people who emigrated to America during the 19th and early 20th century, and the experiences they has once they reached those shores. The 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. Pulitzer Prize for History (1952) " First, I learned that the streets of America were not paved with gold. Then, I learned that most of the streets in America were not even paved. Then I learned, I was to pave the streets."
