Pretty dry reading, but I was extremely taken by the differences in the justice system between 1900 Paterson, New Jersey and now pretty much anywhere in America, some differences better and some worse. The story of a 17-year old girl who is drugged, raped and murdered by four "upstanding citizens" sounded like something from 1980's New York (think the Preppy Killer case). It was hard to read about the victim-blaming, in particular. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"At the dawn of the 20th century, the social unrest in Paterson, New Jersey was palpable. Thousands of Dutch and Italian immigrants flocked to the city, hoping for a job in Paterson{u2019}s famous silk mills. The burgeoning population ushered women into the workplace, grew suffragist sympathies, and produced an anarchist movement. In this charged environment, Jennie Bosschieter, a 17-year-old Dutch immigrant and mill worker, was murdered. Sorrow turned to shock when four wealthy, influential citizens were accused of killing her. The resulting criminal trial held the city--and eventually the nation--transfixed."--Back cover.
