330 .. $a Maria Laurino strips away stereotypes and nostalgia to tell the complicated, centuries-long
story of the true Italian-American experience. Looking beyond the familiar caricatures
fostered by popular culture, she tells the stories of Sicilian workers imported to
replace the labor of freed slaves, the grim realities from which most immigrants came,
the lynchings of Italian Americans, and the first uses of the word "mafia." Laurino
shows how Italian Americans dominated the fishing industry in San Francisco, helped
save the city after the Great Fire, and were interned or restricted as "enemy aliens"
during World War II. Readers will meet the celebrated NYPD officer who battled "The
Black Hand"; sex-symbol Rudolph Valentino, who attracted both adoration and scorn;
and Rosina Bonavita, the real-life "Rosie the Riveter." Laurino brings to light the
significance of Italian American roots to generation-defining authors and poets like
Diane DiPrima, and examines how Italian Americans' focus on family and community has
influenced American politics. From anarchist radicals of the early twentieth century
to Nancy Pelosi and Andrew Cuomo; from traditional artisans to rebel songsters like
Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga, this book explores and celebrates the rich history and
ongoing vitality of Italian American life.--From publisher description
