This book examines the lives of immigrants in Boston's North and West End from the time they were primarily rural areas, through the time they became havens for working class immigrants. The North End, with its limited building space, became the home to many of Boston's poor, particularly Irish and Italian immigrants. The West End had some well-off residents but also many immigrants. While it once was an Irish neighborhood, it now has a large African American population as well. In both areas, industry, religious institutions, and local action shaped the neighborhood's responses to crowding and inadequate housing. The author tells the story of these neighborhoods by describing the lives of their residents in the years before massive immigration, then charts the course of immigration and its effects, and finally details responses to new population patterns and social welfare needs. This book is a rich resource for readers yearning to understand the formation of Boston's distinctive immigrant communities.
