This beautiful book is meant to be used with high school and college classes. Even before the American colonies declared their independence from England, a number of Italians crossed the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the new land that would soon be called the United States. Thus began the Italian influence on American society, which increased sharply from the early 1800s to the early 1900s as massive amounts of Italian immigrants came to the shores of the United States. In leaving an economically troubled country, the majority of Italian immigrants arrived in America with little money in their pockets. But they brought with them a rich cultural heritage and traditional values that have since become part of the fabric of everyday American life. [Can you imagine a life without Italian spaghetti and pizza?] Indeed, few ethnic groups have contributed so brilliantly to the nation’s multi-cultural richness as the Italian Americans. Other books in this series celebrate the rich diversification of our multi-cultural life-style. NEW $10
