Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a nuanced story of women, migration, community, industry, and civic life at the turn of the twentieth century, Carol Lynn McKibben's Beyond Cannery Row analyzes the processes of migration and settlement of Sicilian fishers from three villages in Western Sicily to Monterey, California--and sometimes back again. McKibben's analysis of gender and gender roles shows that it was the women in this community who had the insight, the power, and the purpose to respond and even prosper amid changing economic conditions. Vividly evoking the immigrants' everyday experiences through first-person accounts and detailed description, McKibben demonstrates that the cannery work done by Sicilian immigrant women was crucial in terms of the identity formation and community development. These changes allowed their families to survive the challenges of political conflicts over citizenship in World War II and intermarriage with outsiders throughout the migration experience. The women formed voluntary associations and celebrated festas that effectively linked them with each other and with their home villages in Sicily. Continuous migration created a strong sense of transnationalism among Sicilians in Monterey, which has enabled them to continue as a viable ethnic community today.

Book excerpt: LET THIS BE MY WAY OF SAYING "THANK YOU" to all of those that have touched my life in one way or another and have helped to make this book become reality. The fact that America became my home was unintentionally. My dreams had been to come to this part of the world for a year or two and return to my beloved homeland. My Germany. Especially Luebeck. That land had lost a war that should have never come about. That land had been destroyed to the very core. The continuous unemployment and horrible outlook into a better future made me come to America. My wonderful German girl, Gisela, came here from Berlin three years later to be my wife. Two wonderful children, a boy and a girl were born. We worked seven days a week to get the things we had hoped for. I started to love America for all there was to be had. We moved about for a long time and finally settled in New Hampshire. That State had all we wanted. We could sail and we could ski, we could see the ocean or hike in the woods. It was there for us to have and enjoy and we were happy to raise our two children there as well. With this "Thank you" note I hope that all my readers will see a sense of humor on my part and smile or laugh a little. Yes, I have built a few houses and sold a few as well. And yes, my machine-shop became a success but even there I couldn't stop. A Sailboat-marina was the final! Sailing the coast of Maine and the Virgin Islands was the high point. And yes, I was on the helm, but my wife was the better Navigator. We had made it! Again, to all my family, to all my friends and especially the wonderful lady I married, Gisela, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
