This book explores the United States' glass industry's use of imported Eastern European immigrant labor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author argues that these workers played a crucial role in the industry's development, adding to the richness of the immigrant experience. Focusing on the heavily immigrant workforce in the glass factories of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, the book discusses the lives, culture, working conditions, and labor activism of these workers as they assimilated into American society and the ways in which the glass industry reflected the social changes of the time. By shedding light on the experiences of these workers, this book enriches our understanding of American immigration history and American labor history, and contributes to ongoing debates about the American Dream and workers' place in the American economy.
