| Summary | "Imported Americans" by Broughton Brandenburg is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the complex issues surrounding immigration in America, primarily focusing on the experiences of Italian immigrants. Through the experiences of the author and his wife, the narrative delves into the realities faced by these newcomers, offering unique insights into their lives and struggles as they assimilate into American society. At the start of the narrative, the author shares his motivations for examining the immigration question, sparked by the increasing number of immigrants arriving in America and the growing debate over restrictive immigration laws. He recounts his firsthand observations of a group of newly arrived Italians at Grand Central Station, highlighting their weariness and the suspicion they face. Determined to gain a comprehensive understanding of the immigrant experience, he and his wife immerse themselves in the Italian community in New York City, learning the language and living among them. The opening chapters set the stage for their journey, as they navigate the challenges of adaptation and portrayal of immigrant life in America from a perspective often overlooked.
