Based on published research, fiction and interviews, this work offers a diverting overview of the popular cultural baggagethat Italian immigrants brought to America. Publishers WeeklyItalianAmericans compose one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States. Though they have often been portrayed in fiction and film, many of these images are based on stereotypes not borne out among the immigrant and assimilated population. ItalianAmerican Folklore draws its material directly from Americans of Italian descent in both urban and rural communities. The result is a book that, while strongly anchored in scholarship, is readable, entertaining, and illuminating.Chapters on folk speech, superstitions, folk medicine, games, and more tell of customs common to ItalianAmericans. But the authors have also taken pains to stress the importance of regional ties, detailing how customs vary among the Italian provinces, and how those differences have traveled to ItalianAmerican communities as well. This collection of Italian folktales will teach readers the importance of caring, resourcefulness and respect.
