Padrones and Immigrant Workers in the North American West, 1880–1930
Description
One of the most infamous villains in North America during the Progressive Era was the padrone, a mafia-like immigrant boss who allegedly enslaved his compatriots. In this history of the padrone, first published in 2000, Gunther Peck argues that they were not primitive men but rather thoroughly modern entrepreneurs.
