Book Review

Dance Hall Days: Intimacy and Leisure among Working-Class Immigrants in the United States. By Randy D. McBee. (New York: New York University Press, 2000. x, 293 pp. $40.00, ISBN 0-8147-5620-4.)

Randy D. McBee's monograph on the culture of dance halls among immigrant women and men in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth opens up a new space for thinking about immigrant life, ethnicity, and youth in the context of social history. A large body of scholarship, focused on both the working class and specific immigrant groups, has studied family structure within working-class homes. An even larger corpus of writing has dissected the work experience endured by immigrants and their children in factories. These two literatures have generally stood independent of each other.
