The Harbor

"The Harbor" is a powerful work of American social realism that captures the shifting landscape of industrial New York through the eyes of its protagonist, Bill. Growing up in the shadow of the bustling Brooklyn waterfront, Bill's perspective on the harbor evolves from childhood awe to a cold appreciation for corporate efficiency, and finally to a deep involvement in the burgeoning labor movements of the early twentieth century.
