In Sense of Origins, Rosemary Serra explores the lives of a significant group of self-identified young Italian Americans residing in New York City and its surrounding areas. The book presents and examines the results of a survey she conducted of their values, family relationships, prejudices and stereotypes, affiliations, attitudes and behaviors, and future perspectives of Italian American culture. The core of the study focuses on self-identification with Italian cultural heritage and analyzes it according to five aspects—physical, personality, cultural, psychological, and emotional/affective. The data provides insights into today's young Italian Americans and the ways their perception of reality in everyday interactions is affected by their heritage, while shedding light on the value and symbolic references that come with an Italian heritage. Through her rendering of relevant facets that emerge from the study, Serra constructs interpretative models useful for outlining the physiognomy and characterization of second, third, fourth, and fifth generations of Italian Americans. In the current climate, questions of ethnicity and migrant identity around the world make Sense of Origins useful not only to the Italian American community but also to the descendants of the innumerable present-day migrants who find themselves living in countries different from those of their ancestors. The book will resonate in future explorations of ethnic identity in the United States.

This book is about Italian American women, food, identity, and our stories at the table. This mother-daughter research team explores how Italian American working-class women from Syracuse, New York use food as a symbol and vehicle which carries multiple meanings. In these narratives, food represents home, loss, and longing. Food also stands in for race, class, gender, sexuality, immigration, region, place, and space. The authors highlight how food is about family and tradition, as well as choice and change. These women's narratives reveal that food is related to celebration, love, power, and shame. As this study centers on the intergenerational transmission of culture, the authors' relationship mirrors these questions as they contend with their similar and disparate experiences and relationships with Italian American identity and food. The authors use the "recipe" as a conversational bridge to elicit narratives about identity and the self. They also encourage readers to listen closely to the stories at their own tables to consider how recipes and food are a way for us to claim who we are, who we think we are, who we want to be, and who we are not.

The "purpose in this volume is chiefly to make my readers sympathetically acquainted, so far as I am able, with the Italian of to-day in his old home and his new. For this purpose I have not only studied his history and his achievements in the past, but I have tried through personal acquaintance to understand something of his present viewpoint. In a word, I have sought to introduce him as he is to my fellow Americans who trace their descent from other racial stocks. This volume was largely written in Italy, while the places and people described were freshly in mind"--Introd.

When the answer "they were your grandparents" is not enough, read "Italian Emigrants, Italian Immigrants." Who were our Italian ancestors? Why did they leave Italy? This book focuses on historical information that Italian Americans must have to answer these fundamental questions about their heritage. The quest for ancestral understanding is personalized through the search to learn about one family, "cognome "Labella. They were emigres from a mountaintop village--the "Comune di Avigliano"--in the province of Potenza, in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy. This book takes us step by step into the history of our Italian ancestors. It highlights the major external forces--geographic, cultural, social, economic, and political--that affected their decisions to leave Italy. Tina Bochicchio Woetzel believes that her successes are a result of her immersion in a culture of extended family and Old World traditions. This lifestyle was transported to the United States by her grandparents and great--grandparents. The new millennium provided an impetus to reflect on family. "Italian Emigrants, Italian Immigrants," a unique and informative book, developed from "The Labella Project," a handout intended for their centennial family reunion. This book proves timely for her family, after 100 years in the United States, and for millions of other southern Italian immigrant families. Italian Americans share a renewed interest in learning about the history of their ancestors who arrived in the United States during the decades around the turn of the twentieth century. Mrs. Woetzel continues to work on special projects related to Italian immigration. She can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected]
