Title
We Americans : A Study of Cleavage in an American City
Description
Book-length 1937 demographic study of Burlington, Vermont - as a New England hub, as an American city in itself, and as a microcosm of American democracy. This book was a product of Vermont's 1930s Eugenics Survey that studied local demographics, and considered the use of concepts of race and class in their relationship to democratic society.The single largest immigrant group in Burlington at this time (1930s) was of French Canadian origin. From the text: "The promise of American democracy is resident in the life of local communities....We must learn more about the character of life in local American communities."
