Opis

Millhunks and Renegades: A Portrait of a Pittsburgh Neighborhood puts the story back in history. Through interviews with folks aged 12 to 96, Anita Kulina has pieced together what could easily be the story of many urban neighborhoods across the nation. Travel from the "old country" with Irish, Italian and Slovak immigrants to Greenfield, a small town now part of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Share their dreams and hopes as, over generations, they fight Indian raids and corporate tyranny. Join them as they ride the Schenley Park carousel and spend their hard-earned leisure time at prizefights and sulky races. Walk with these strong, proud individuals as they build schools, homes and lives as citizens of their adopted country, the United States of America.
