About this book

Lives of Their Own: Blacks, Italians, and Poles in Pittsburgh, 1900-1960 (Working Class in American History) by Bodnar, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780252008801.

Lives of Their Own depicts the strikingly different lives of black, Italian, and Polish immigrants in Pittsburgh. Within a comparative framework, the book focuses on the migration process itself, job procurement, and occupational mobility, family structure, home-ownership, and neighborhood institutions. By blending oral histories with quantitative data, the authors have created a convincing multilayered portrait of working-class life in one of our great industrial cities.
