This anthology gathers fiction, poetry, memoirs, oral histories,
and journalistic pieces by some of the best Italian American
writers to chronicle the Italian American experience in the Garden
State. The collection features male and female writers whose work
focuses on Italian American life and the distinctive culture of New
Jersey, which long has been home to a large and vital Italian
American community. Filled with passion, humor, and grace, these
writings depict a variety of experiences, including poignant but
failed attempts at conformity and the alienation often felt by
ethnic Americans. The authors also speak of the strength gained
through the preservation of their communities and the realization
that it is often the difference from the norm that helps them
succeed. Although it deals with only one ethnic group, the volume
addresses in microcosm the complexities of American identity,
depicting situations and conveying emotions that will resonate with
people of all immigrant ancestries. Italian American Writers on New
Jersey features writers who have a national following, such as Gay
Talese, Tom Perrotta, Louise DeSalvo, and Maria Laurino, as well as
lesser-known authors. The volume moves beyond stereotypes,
providing a fresh perspective on the diversity, complexity, and
richness of Italian American experiences. Publication of this book
is made possible in part by a grant from the Institute of Italian
and Italian American Heritage Studies, State of New Jersey.
