EBOOK White on Arrival Italians, Race, Color, and Power in Chicago, 1890-1945
Opis
White on Arrival contains profound implications for our understanding of race and ethnic acculturation in the United States, as well as twentieth-century immigration, urban, and political history. Taking the mass Italian immigration of the late nineteenth century as his starting point and drawing on dozens of oral histories and a diverse array of primary sources in English and Italian, Guglielmo focuses on how perceptions of Italians' race and colour were shaped in one of America's great centers of immigration and labor, Chicago.
