(5 out of 5 stars)

"This book is a very interesting historical accounting of the arrivals of Italian immigrants and the cultural affects they had on America and vice versa, including hardships they experienced. The author makes very poignant comparisons and contrasts between Italians in relation to the other ethnic groups who were in America at the time. More importantly, he exlains and describes the conflicts, differences, and discrimations between the Northern Italians and the "Mezzogiorno," or Southern Italians and the subgroups they segregated into and embraced in resistance to the unified Italy, even in a new nation.
