Johnson’s superb study, The New Bostonians: How Immigrants Have Transformed the Metro Area since the 1960s, published by the University of Massachusetts Press in 2015. After World War II, the greater Boston area experienced dramatic economic and demographic decline. The population plummeted from 801,444 in 1950 to 641,071 in 1970, a 20% drop. Since the 1980s, however, the city has witnessed a renaissance, a phenomenon similar to what has occurred in many other major urban areas. Marilynn S. Johnson argues that immigrants have contributed to this renaissance in numerous yet often overlooked ways.

  • Book Reviews and Book Notes
    BOOK REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTES EDITED BY NORMAN B. WILKINSON Essays In American Colonial History. Edited by Paul Goodman. (New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc., 1967. Pp. 632. $5.95. Paper- back.) This collection of thirty-two papers is designed to "make more readily available studies of America's colonial period that have appeared as essays in scholarly journals." The articles are concise reports of investigations, many of which have been elaborated in books, and thus they comprise a convenient, brief introduction to the scholarship of America's formative years. Each of the interpretive essays is the work of a distinguished his- torian and each makes a useful contribution to our grasp of colonial history. Taken together they provide a single overall theme: that even before American independence, a sense of American nationality, of "Amer- icanness," had emerged from the clash of the Old World patterns of living and thinking, and the New World environment had prompted men from both continents to think of Americans as a "new race of men" in an indigenous secular culture. The book is divided into three sections. Part I considers the sources and methods of European expansion, especially the origin of England's thrust across the Atlantic. A. L. Rowse, Lawrence Stone and Michael Walzer write persuasively on the essential preconditions for Tudor-Stuart coloniza- tion. They see these in the development of a powerful and highly centralized nation in place of a fragmented and unstable medieval polity; the failure of English mercantilism; and the emergence of a revolutionary Puritan move- ment that discovered its perfect setting in the New World.
