The Mungellos were Italian-American children of Vesuvius. Moving to flee the threats of the Black Hand, their lives became no less turbulent. Throughout the generations, the Mungello's love affairs projected them up the ladder of American success as they damned one another to their deaths. This is a true story.

Remember This is a sweeping saga of America in the 20th Century as seen through the lives of an immigrant family of ambition and character who let their dreams and their passions take them to the heights and at times close to the depths. It's also the well told, paradigmatic story of the author who found himself inside several dissident movements of the '60's and 70's and how he survived to make himself a family.--Felice Picano, author of Like People in History and Nights at Rizzoli
David Mungello's Remember This: A Family in America is an extra-ordinary non-fictional narrative. It is, on the one hand, a fascinating autobiography of an Italian American baby-boomer in the academy. On the other hand, it proves to be much more; namely, it is an in-depth analysis of the social dynamics of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States and their subsequent impact on society. Remember This is a must read for Italian Americans; for those wanting to enter the academy; for those who are looking for a unique perspective on the years of social change in the United States; and, last but not least, for those concerned with identity politics. Buona lettura!--Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean of the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute at Queens College
D. E. Mungello is the grandson of Italian immigrants and a prominent historian. He is the author of nine books and has devoted much of the last fifteen years to researching and writing this memoir of his immigrant family.
