While some were cruel exploiters who compelled obedience through terror and abuse - a view promoted by a few, well-publicized cases - the lot of most of these children was similar to that of child apprentices and helpers in other trades. Public reactions to the child performers were different in each city and reflected the host society's view of the influx of foreign immigrants in general. Although England, France, and the United States developed legislation in the mid-nineteenth century to deal with children in factories, they did not attempt to regulate children in street trades until later in the century because they saw the work as a form of begging. The battle to get Italian child musicians off the street dragged on for years before legislation and new work opportunities - often as onerous as or worse than street performing - directed the children into new trades. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history. 606 $aChild labor$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild labor$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild labor$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet music$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStreet musicians$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aChild musicians$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aItaly$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aChild labor$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aStreet music$xHistory 615 0$aStreet musicians$xHistory 615 0$aChild musicians$xHistory 676 $a362.7/99 700 $aZucchi$b John$0136237 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782710803321 996 $aThe little slaves of the harp$93703299 997 $aUNINA
