The gangster, in the hands of the Italian American artist,
becomes a telling figure in the tale of American race, gender, and
ethnicity - a figure that reflects the autobiography of an
immigrant group just as it reflects the fantasy of a native
population.
From Wiseguys to Wise Men studies the figure of the gangster and
explores its social function in the construction and projection of
masculinity in the United States. By looking at the cultural icon
of the gangster through the lens of gender, this book presents new
insights into material that has been part of American culture for
close to 100 years.
