About this audiobook
The immigrant has been discussed as an Anglo-Saxon problem, a labor problem and a problem of institutions. Frederic C. Howe argues that the real problem is how America looks after itself. We are all aliens, he says, and most of us are descended from the poor of Europe. The immigrant stops being an alien when the economy takes him in.
This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, a 1922 collection edited by Harold Stearns. Read by Brett Carter in thirty-eight minutes.
