Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Passage to Liberty recaptures the drama of the 19th and 20th century immigration to America through photos, letters, and other artifacts — uniquely replicated in three-dimensional facsimile form. In the tradition of "Lest We Forget, Chronicle's bestselling interactive tour through the African American experience, the text uses the stories of individuals and families — from early explorers, through the wave of 19th century impoverished families, to contemporary figures — to recapture the rich heritage the Italian people carried with them over the waves, and planted anew in the American soil.

Book News Annotation:

Ciongoli (past president of National Italian American Foundation) and Parini (literary and cultural critic) provide personal stories, photos, letters, and other artifacts in order to promote an understanding and appreciation of the Italian-American cultural heritage. This is a slim, slightly oversize book (10.25x10.25<">), designed for a popular audience.
