In this lively and engaging history, Stephen Puleo tells the

largely illiterate and impoverished people in a strange land
recreated the bonds of village and region in the cramped quarters
of the North End. Focusing on this first and crucial Italian

immigrants as they battled poverty, illiteracy, and prejudice;
explains their transformation into Italian Americans during the
Depression and World War II; and chronicles their rich history in
Boston up to the present day.
