About This Item
New York: Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada, 1917. First Edition. Softcover. Good. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. An early, sympathetic, not-quite ethnography of Italian-Americans newly arrived. From a publisher blurb, "Mangano's work is a fascinating exploration of the Italian-American experience, tracing the history of Italian immigration to America and its impact on both American culture and Italian identity. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Mangano examines issues such as religion, politics, and family life, and offers a nuanced portrait of the Italian-American community. This work is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of immigration and the diverse cultural landscape of America." Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, minor to moderate wear of covers and text-block, but with neither underlining nor highlighting. Perfectly readable, usable copy. Simple printed wraps, lightly worn, lightly toned interior, small stain to bottom fore-tip, but clean and unmarked. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xii [2], 3-234 pp. plus two pages of mission work and appointments.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
