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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: During the thirty-four year period from 1898 to 1932, more than fifty thousand Italian immigrants arrived at the port of Providence. The majority of them settled on Federal Hill, the three-hundred-acre land mass that stands high above Rhode Island's capital city. This remarkable photographic history of Federal Hill features images of the community from the late 1800s to the mid-1960s, chronicling the arrival of immigrants from many countries over the years. Federal Hill is a rich community in many ways. Its hardworking and tenacious settlers started out with a deep and abiding faith in God. Their numerous accomplishments are evidenced today in the many thriving family-owned businesses and stunning architectural achievements so prevalent in the downtown area. Many people from around the state enter Federal Hill through the welcoming pine-cone arch for seasonal festivals or a night on the town. The vitality and hospitality of this historic area are truly cherished by many in the modern era.
