Review
One of the best books yet published in its field--a book in which you will learn more about the making of an American than in the most solemn or fictional volumes that purport to tell you all about the subject.--San Francisco Chronicle
Jerre Mangione, who was born in Mount Allegro in 1909, takes you into the heart of these Little Italys and describes its people and their thoughts and ways. He does it with nostalgic warmth and has somehow recaptured all the freshness of the original color.--The New York Times
About the Author
Jerre Mangione was the former coordinating editor of the Federal Writers' Project and professor emeritus of English at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of ten books, including The Dream and the Deal: The Federal Writers' Project, 1935-1943 (reprinted by Syracuse University Press) and An Ethnic at Large.
