Robert Ezra and Herbert Adolphus MILLER [and William Isaac THOMAS]. Old world traits transplanted. [Americanization Studies].
First edition. A still-pertinent study of European and North American (Mexican) immigrants to the United States, and of ideas of heritage, with case studies of New York. Apparently far more sympathetic than Le Bon. Donald Young’s introduction to the 1975 Patterson Smith reprint edition explains how this original publication in 1921 showed Park and Miller as authors, but that William I. Thomas had actually been the main author. His name was removed after his connection with the University of Chicago was ended as the result of allegations, eventually acquitted, that Thomas had violated the Mann Act, i.e. prostitution and trafficking laws.
