Riassunto

From the early Italian adventurers who played an important role in the European expansion across the Atlantic to the political and business leaders of the 1990s, this book tells a dramatic story. The heart of the story is the mass migration that took place between 1880 and 1924, when a whole culture left its ancient roots to settle in the cities and towns of America.

Product Description:

Since the Genoese Christopher Columbus affirmed the existence of America 500 years age, some five-and-a-half-million Italians have made the long journey across the Atlantic in search of new opportunities and a better life for themselves and their children. This study provides a complete account of the struggles to establish an Italian-American comunity, weaving historical research with personal testimony to explain why they came, what they found, how they worshipped, how they built communities and businesses, and how they fought discrimination. It also tellls the story of their children and their children's children, who continued their parents' struggle to achieve the American Dream while honouring the traditions of life in the Old World. Jerre Mangione is the author of "Mount Allegro". Ben Morreale is the author of "A Few Virtuous Men".
