From about 1877 to 1913 immigration was responsible for half of all urbanization. The era was big enough to contain Booker T. Washington, Emma Goldman, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, and Mark Twain. It also served as the stage for anti-Semitism, segregation, involuntary sterilization and the continued efforts to decimate Native American culture. This three-volume set with cumulative index includes an 11-chapter almanac describing the labor movement, industrialization, immigration, Western expansion, populism, and the varying results of progressivism, a volume of biographies including those of Jane Addams, Lewis Hine, Scott Joplin, Sitting Bull and Hannah Solomon, and a collection of primary sources, including excerpts from the Chinese Exclusion Act and Riis's How the Other Half Lives and other significant works, interviews and newspaper accounts. Aimed at young adults, this expresses clear points of view about such social issues as birth control and women's rights. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
