The book explores the complexities and nuances of immigration, particularly focusing on the experiences of European immigrants coming to America. It aims to provide insight into the immigrant experience and its effects both on the individuals and their homelands, ultimately advocating for a more compassionate understanding of these populations. The opening of the book establishes Steiner's approach to explaining immigration through personal narratives and observations rather than relying solely on statistics. He recounts his journey aboard an Italian steamer, where he encounters various passengers in the steerage class, sharing their hopes, struggles, and motivations for returning to their countries of origin. Through conversations with these immigrants, he captures the vibrant, often heart-wrenching tapestry of their lives, revealing a stark contrast between their experiences and those of the first-class passengers. The chapter highlights both the challenges faced by immigrants in America and the cultural ties they maintain with their homeland, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of these themes throughout the work.
