Streets of Gold: America’s Untold Story of Immigrant Success

Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Streets of Gold rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. Streets of Gold also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in business & economics and history. Streets of Gold emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
