Italian immigration from 1945 to the present is an American
phenomenon too little explored in our historical studies. Until
now. In this new collection, Laura E. Ruberto and Joseph Sciorra
edit essays by an elite roster of scholars in Italian American
studies. These interdisciplinary works focus on leading edge topics
that range from politics of the McCarren-Walter Act and its effects
on women to the ways Italian Americans mobilized against
immigration restrictions. Other essays unwrap the inner workings of
multi-ethnic power brokers in a Queens community, portray the
complex transformation of identity in Boston's North End, and trace
the development of Italian American youth culture and how new
arrivals fit into it. Finally, Donna Gabaccia pens an afterword on
the importance of this seventy-year period in U.S. migration
history. Contributors: Ottorino Cappelli, Donna Gabaccia, Stefano
Luconi, Maddalena Marinari, James S. Pasto, Rodrigo Praino, Laura
E. Ruberto, Joseph Sciorra, Donald Tricarico, and Elizabeth Zanoni.
