An examination of Italian immigrants and their children in the
early twentieth century, A New Language, A New World is the first
full-length historical case study of one immigrant group's
experience with language in America. Incorporating the
interdisciplinary literature on language within a historical
framework, Nancy C. Carnevale illustrates the complexity of the
topic of language in American immigrant life. By looking at
language from the perspectives of both immigrants and the dominant
culture as well as their interaction, this book reveals the role of
language in the formation of ethnic identity and the often coercive
context within which immigrants must negotiate this process.
