Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhode Island residents greeted the 1997 publication of a photographic history of their state with much enthusiasm. The first volume of Italian-Americans in Rhode Island chronicled the Italian-American community's rising significance in the state's development--in government, business, religion, and civic affairs. The author of that volume, Joseph Muratore, has worked again to produce a second book on Italian-Americans in Rhode Island that includes many new images. Italian-Americans in Rhode Island Volume II covers the history of the early Italian settlers, who quickly established themselves in the jewelry business, the manufacturing field, and construction business, thus creating thousands of jobs for the immigrants who followed. With their aggressive ingenuity, Italian-Americans developed, manufactured, and assembled machinery and equipment capable of mass production. In this book, the author captures in photographs the primitive plants and equipment used, the local businesses that the immigrants committed themselves to, and the results of the Italian-Americans' contributions to the economic development of Rhode Island.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian Americans made a significant contribution to Franklin D. Roosevelt's election to the White House in 1932 and to the victory of the Democratic Party in the four subsequent presidential contests. This volume offers a case study of their electoral behavior. Through a quantitative analysis of the Italian-American vote between 1916 and 1948, this study demonstrates that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the creation of a Democratic majority in the Little Italy of Providence foreran both Alfred Smith's 1928 candidacy for the presidency and the Depression of the 1930s. War II and underwent a revitalization in the postwar years. Political recognition and patronage were so central to Italian Americans' party choice that their support for the Democratic Party reached a climax when a member of the community, John Pastore, ran for governor on the Democratic ticket in the mid 1940s. Stefano Luconi teaches the History of North America at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Florence.

Professor Romano has published four books and numerous articles on Psychological / Sociological / Criminological issues including spouse and child abuse patterns, terrorism, drug-related homicide and international crime patterns. Her earlier published books are based on her experiences with various social service agencies based in New York City. In this book she addresses her heritage. She states "My parents emigrated from a little town in Italy and had the courage to travel a long and tedious journey to a new home leaving them without benefit of family and support. Their experience left an indelible impression on me that formed my views on the courage and strength that thousands of other immigrants must have had as well. This trait emanates from a brilliant cultural heritage that has produced magnificent literature and art, music, science and architecture. It is important to carry on this rich Italian cultural tradition by collecting, preserving and popularizing materials that illuminate American Italian life." Dr. Romano is a national lecturer and consultant, speaking at conferences throughout the United States and Europe. She has received numerous awards, including being named Queens Woman of Distinction by State Senator Serphin Maltese during NYS Senate's celebration of Women's History Month in March 2005.

Download or read book Hungering for America written by Hasia R. DINER and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of immigrants were drawn to American shores, not by the mythic streets paved with gold, but rather by its tables heaped with food. How they experienced the realities of America’s abundant food—its meat and white bread, its butter and cheese, fruits and vegetables, coffee and beer—reflected their earlier deprivations and shaped their ethnic practices in the new land. Hungering for America tells the stories of three distinctive groups and their unique culinary dramas. Italian immigrants transformed the food of their upper classes and of sacred days into a generic “Italian” food that inspired community pride and cohesion. Irish immigrants, in contrast, loath to mimic the foodways of the Protestant British elite, diminished food as a marker of ethnicity. And East European Jews, who venerated food as the vital center around which family and religious practice gathered, found that dietary restrictions jarred with America’s boundless choices. These tales, of immigrants in their old worlds and in the new, demonstrate the role of hunger in driving migration and the significance of food in cementing ethnic identity and community. Hasia Diner confirms the well-worn adage, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.”

Download or read book Eviva Maria Madonna della Civita written by Bernadette Conte and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South of Rome, nestled in a valley surrounded by the Aurunci Mountains, Itri, Italy, has been home of the Maria SS della Civita for generations. Eviva Maria, a profound story resounding with truth and revelation, sweeps through centuries of history and generational faith to their Madonna. This moving account of history explores the difficult but enduring ties between the sister cities of Itri and Cranston, Rhode Island, the deep faith, sacrifices, determination, and fortitude of the Itrani immigrants; and the pattern of emotions that repeat themselves through generations gives us a renewed awakening to our past and a desire to renew their faith to the Madonna. If you ever wanted to connect and rediscover your ancestral past, this book will strike an indelible cord in your heart. Bernadette M. Conte is a mother of two children and grandmother of four grandchildren. She has lived in Cranston throughout her life and is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island. She is the founder of Mary's Way Woman to Women, a Christian spiritual group dealing with the spiritual, psychological, and physical healing needs of women. She initiated group inner healing services throughout the East Coast in the '70s and has continued this ministry when called upon to groups and those in crisis. Her interest in her ancestral history began when she was a child and witnessed the many trials¸ struggles, and stories of the Itrani immigrants. She has attended the same church since childhood and has practiced their traditions. Through the years her mother, who emigrated from Itri, Italy, gave her spiritual books and documents with a command to scrivi e ricorda ("write and remember"). In 1975 at the request of her pastor, she began her research. Deeply touched by the profound faith the Italian immigrants had in "their" Madonna prompted her to write their story so that all generations of the Itrani people will remember the legacy left to them.
