Book Overview

""Where Garments And Americans Are Made: The Story Of The Sicher System Of Factory Education For Americanization Of Foreigners"" is a book written by Jessie Howell MacCarthy. The book details the Sicher System, a factory education program designed to Americanize foreign workers in the early 20th century. The program was developed by Max Sicher, a Jewish immigrant who believed that educating foreign workers in American culture and language would help them integrate into American society and improve their economic opportunities. The book explores the history of the Sicher System, its impact on American industry and immigration, and the experiences of the foreign workers who participated in the program. MacCarthy's book provides a unique perspective on Americanization efforts during the early 1900s and sheds light on the challenges faced by immigrant workers in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
