Reviews
Rich and satisfying, loaded with fascinating interviews, glorious photographs and fresh insights, this compilation is a keeper. With her trademark literary elegance and journalistic integrity, Maria Laurino pulls disparate threads together creating one lush tapestry that shows us who we are., A first-rate, clich-killing, and insightful exploration of the Italian-American journey. I couldn't put it down. Essential., The Italian Americans is a revelation--a rich and truthful history, full of little-known information, insight, and narrative color, giving full dimension to people far too often reduced to stereotype., The Italian Americans is clear, fresh and vivid. It answers a thousand questions about where we came from, how and why our ancestors got here, and why we think and act as we do., A first-rate, cliché-killing, and insightful exploration of the Italian-American journey. I couldn't put it down. Essential., A sweeping portrait of a people whose contributions to America are indistinguishable from the country itself--and its myths. It also is an intimate family album containing images and stories as distinct as they are familiar: of pride and painful stereotyping, sacrifices and ascent, cultural and communal values that simultaneously have powered the American Dream while subverting the individualism at its core. Impeccably researched, and deeply moving, Maria Laurino's book, like the PBS series, is essential for anyone interested in the history of immigration in the United States.

Synopsis
From extensive archival materials and interviews with well-known Italian Americans, Maria Laurino strips away stereotypes and nostalgia to tell the complicated, centuries-long story of the true Italian-American experience. Looking beyond the familiar Little Italys and stereotypes fostered by The Godfather and The Sopranos, Laurino reveals surprising, fascinating lives: Italian-Americans working on sugar-cane plantations in Louisiana to those who were lynched in New Orleans; the banker who helped rebuild San Francisco after the great earthquake; families interned as "enemy aliens" in World War II. From anarchist radicals to "Rosie the Riveter" to Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, and Bill de Blasio; from traditional artisans to rebel songsters like Frank Sinatra, Dion, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, this book is both exploration and celebration of the rich legacy of Italian-American life. Readers can discover the history chronologically, chapter by chapter, or serendipitously by exploring the trove of supplemental materials. These include interviews, newspaper clippings, period documents, and photographs that bring the history to life., From extensive archival materials and interviews with well-known Italian Americans, Maria Laurino strips away stereotypes and nostalgia to tell the complicated, centuries-long story of the true Italian-American experience.
