This book is a marvelous opus which deserves to be recognized for its innovative approach to the topic of Anti-Italianism. As William J. Connell affirms, "The essays in this volume were written... with the idea of looking very hard at the experiences Italian Americans have had with issues of discrimination and stereotyping." And it does so with a command of the subject that reflects the deep experience and knowledge of the various contributors.
Fred Gardaphé writes: "Whether they like it or not, Italian Americans cannot escape the fact that they weren't always white." It is a powerful statement and it merits some pondering upon it. The volume presents the opportunity to involve ourselves in our recent past history and discover the truth behind our integration within the American system, because knowing the truth can only help us understand, respect even more our progenitors and at the same prevent such horrible events from ever recurring.
