The text answered lots of questions I had about the arduous journey that my ancestors made to US....the dangers, hardships, and sacrifices. Extremely well searched. History of how the unification of Italy in the1860s led to the volume of Italian immigrants to US was extremely well-done and informative.

I bought this book as a gift for my husband . The day the book arrived it has been in his hands , as my husband said :it is so interesting he can not put it down! Great gift , easy to read and very interesting!
What was life like like for Italian immigrants to the USA? What did they endure? What was the life they left behind? The first 12 chapters of the books were fantastic, and anyone with an interest in their family roots will enjoy this! The few chapters on literature or film are either dated or far less compelling, but that is a minor issue - most of this book is unbeatable!
THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ALL WHO ARE DOING GENEALOGY OR JUST INTERESTED IN ITALIANS AND ITALY. THIS BOOK TELLS ABOUT THE HARDSHIPS THAT SOUTHERN ITALIANS ENDURED AND WHY THERE WAS SUCH A MASS EXODUS FROM ITALY TO AMERICA. THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME UNDERSTAND ALOT ABOUT WHY MY FAMILY SENT MY 12 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER FORM ITALY TO AMERICA TO BE EDUCATED. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK HIGHLY
