5.0 out of 5 stars
Thoughtful, insightful, perceptive,
This review is from: Learning to Forget: Schooling and Family Life in New Haven's Working Class, 1870-1940 (Hardcover)
Dr. Lassonde successfully walks a fine line with this insightful book. He packs his book with statistics and documentary evidence to support his central argument about the dynamic interplay between family structure and local/state school authorities, but he rises above the standard academic tome with his skillful, humane writing about these Italians, Irish and others in New Haven's little melting pot. One comes to appreciate the pain these immigrants felt in their new land as their sons and daughters become, inexorably, more "American" through their experiences in the public schools.
