Book Review

Faces of Community: Immigrant Massachusetts, 1860–2000. Ed. by Reed Ueda and Conrad Edick Wright. (Boston: Massachusetts Historical Society, 2003. xiv, 269 pp. Cloth, $50.00, ISBN 0-934909-80-6. Paper, $22.50, ISBN 0-934909-82-2.)
Reed Ueda and Conrad Edick Wright have compiled a series of eight essays first presented at a conference at the Massachusetts Historical Society in 2002. Despite what might be implied by the subtitle, there is no attempt by the editors to provide a sweeping view of the history of immigration in the state. Rather, their intention is to "offer important case studies, with national significance, of how newcomers and natives adjusted to each other and reshaped the boundaries of public interaction" (p. viii).	1
Reed Ueda's essay, "Frameworks for Immigrant Inclusion," traces changes in attitudes and policies from 1870 to 1965 regarding assimilation and naturalization from the perspective of national, state, and private agencies, on the one hand, and immigrants, on the other. Two essays concerning new arrivals in Worcester, Massachusetts, follow Ueda's piece. Janette Thomas Greenwood's study of community building by southern black migrants during the Civil War era and John F. McClymer's examination of the French Canadian community during the late nineteenth century present vivid and fascinating case studies of the developments that Ueda described in general terms. Though their stories differed in many respects, both groups had to deal with such issues as relations with the established community and with other ethnic groups, maintenance of their cultural heritage, and the extent to which they would embrace the culture of their new setting.	. . .
