Focusing on the Greek-American experience, the book explores the journey of immigrants from the early 1900s to the present, highlighting their struggles, achievements, and the preservation of their cultural identity. The authors emphasize the resilience of those who arrived with little, yet built strong families and communities. This revised edition includes insights on the role of the Greek Orthodox Church and the impact of intermarriage on ethnic identity. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in Greek culture and ethnic studies.

The author, a Harvard-trained sociologist, became a police officer in Baltimore's Eastern District, immersing himself in police culture and street life. This book shares the insights he gained during his midnight shifts in a world marked by poverty, violence, and drug activity.
