Colleagues,

I'm researching the alleged dangers posed to middle and upper class
American white children/youth during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries from those viewed as "racial outsiders" (this
includes European immigrants as well as Blacks, Asians and Latinos).

I'm particularly interested in to what extent the children of these
groups were seen as sources of moral or cultural "corruption." Any
suggestions for primary or secondary sources on this?

Feel free to write me directly.
Many thanks!
JOJ
