“A most thorough survey of the greatest migratory movement of our time. The causes of emigration are analyzed by a consideration of conditions in Italy, and the emigrants are followed into the countries of their settlement in Europe, Africa, South America and the United States, the last of which is treated in detail. Their fortunes, economic and cultural contributions in their new homes are weighed carefully.—Booklist
“It may be said that Dr Foerster’s work is the most authoritative as it is the most comprehensive volume dealing with the subject of Italian immigration yet published in the United States, and is indispensable to all who care to know intimately its characteristic features and main purport.” W. E. Davenport

“Especially valuable are the four chapters (97 pages) dealing with the Italian immigrants in the Argentine and Brazil. But the especial importance of Professor Foerster’s work is the careful analysis of the causes of emigration, of the effect of this movement on the Italian nation, and of its probable future.” Edith Abbott
