BOSTON ITALIANS, THE(ISBN=9780807050378) 英文原版 pmlz 电子版 pdf docx 网盘 kindle azw3 下载

In this lively and engaging history, Stephen Puleo tells the

story of the Boston Italians from their earliest years, when a

largely illiterate and impoverished people in a strange land

recreated the bonds of village and region in the cramped quarters

of the North End. Focusing on this first and crucial Italian

enclave in Boston, Puleo describes the experience of Italian

immigrants as they battled poverty, illiteracy, and prejudice;

explains their transformation into Italian Americans during the

Depression and World War II; and chronicles their rich history in

Boston up to the present day.

编辑推荐

Drawing extensively on the files of La Gazzetta as well

as the personal papers of its legendary editor and publisher, James

V. Donnaruma, and on his own family's memories, Puleo has crafted

an unsparing, but mostly admiring, account of a colorful and

vibrant community as it battled for social acceptance and political

recognition.—Michael Kenney, Boston Sunday Globe

"As you flip the pages of The Boston Italians, you can

practically smell the sauce simmering on the stove. It's not a dull

history lesson but a narrative underdog tale of what Puleo calls

the 'real story' of those early southern Italian immigrants."—Dana

Barbuto, Patriot Ledger

"At long last, a historically accurate and well-crafted history of

the Italian community that flourished in Boston’s North End.

Drawing upon original documents, as well as anecdotes from the

lives of his own family, Stephen Puleo has produced a work that is

a great read for the generalist and a gold mine of information for

the specialist."—Thomas H. O’Connor, university historian at Boston

College and author of The Boston Irish

"An inspiring contribution not only to the history of the city, but

to the story of America. Part elegy, part paean, The Boston

Italians is a compelling document that honors the generations

of immigrants who inspired it."—Christopher Castellani, author of

The Saint of Lost Things

"[Puleo] has written a book that moves along like a fast-paced

novel . . . Truly a magnificent work." —Primo Magazine
