La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience

by Jerre Mangione

La Storia: Five Centuries of the Italian American Experience Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From the early Italian adventurers who played an important role in the European expansion across the Atlantic to the political and business leaders of the 1990s, this book tells a dramatic story. The heart of the story is the mass migration that took place between 1880 and 1924, when a whole culture left its ancient roots to settle in the cities and towns of America.

Synopsis:

Since Columbus arrived 500 years ago, some five-and-a-half-million other Italians have made the long journey across the Atlantic in search of a better life for their families. La Storia provides a complete account of their particularly rich exodus and Americanization. Photo inserts.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 463-494) and index.
