The Boston Italians: A Story of Pride, Perseverance, and Paesani, from Theyears of the Great Immigration to the Present Day
A Story of Pride, Perseverance, and Paesani, from the Years of the Great Immigration to the Present Day
Stephen Puleo
In this lively and engaging history, Stephen Puleo tells the story of the Boston Italians from their earliest years, when a largely illiterate and impoverished people in a strange land recreated the bonds of village and region in the cramped quarters of the North End. Focusing on this first and crucial Italian enclave in Boston, Puleo describes the experience of Italian immigrants as they battled poverty, illiteracy, and prejudice; explains their transformation into Italian Americans during the Depression and World War II; and chronicles their rich history in Boston up to the present day.
