What reading level is Races And Immigrants in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is an ex- treme case, and has not often been allowed to happen.
But the only means of preventiag it is the "ward boss." The boss emerges from the situation as inevitably as the survival of the fittest. And the fittest is the Irishman. The Irishman has above all races the mixture of ingenuity, firmness, human sympathy, comradeship, and daring that makes him the amal- gamator of races. He conciliates them all by nomi- nating a ticket on which the offices are shrewdly distributed; and out of ...the Babel his "slate" gets the majority.
The boss's problem is not an easy one. His ward may contain business men on the hill and negroes 182 POLITICS along the canal. To nominate a business man would lose the negro vote — to nominate a negro would lose the business vote. He selects a nondescript some- where between, and discards him for another at the next election. The representative becomes a tool in the hands of the boss. The boss sells his power to corporations, franchise speculators, and law- evaders.
