Summary: Examines the work of Hull House resident Grace Abbott and her work with the Immigrants' Protective League (IPL) of Chicago between 1908 and 1924. During those years, Abbott and the IPL, informed by daily interactions with European newcomers and established residents, infused discussions of American citizenship with a controversial discourse of social entitlement and government accountability. Immigration historians often discuss entry and exclusion without a fuller exploration of the ways immigrants contributed to social policy or the ways admissions affected the domestic scene. Abbott's unique perspective bridges the gap in such discussions by highlighting immigrants' contributions to reshaping social policy and American democratic ideals--from the author's abstract
