Review
These thoughtful essays on the construction of race, ethnicity, nationalism, and their consequences for culture, conflict, and solidarity ought to be mandatory reading for anti-racists everywhere.
--Robin D. G. Kelley, USC
Are Italians White? is great social and cultural history. Guglielmo and Salerno have "done the right thing." This is a compelling volume.
--Robert A.Orsi, Northwestern University
Are Italians White? works from a strong antiracist premise and follows the thread of progressive, activist Italian-American history into the present. Bravo!
--Micaela di Leonardo, Northwestern University
This is an outstanding collection, combining sympathy for its subjects, passion for the truth, a critical outlook, and exemplary scholarship.
--Noel Ignatiev, author of How the Irish Became White
This splendid collection is certain to prompt critical rethinking of the way in which the so-called "new immigrants" negotiated their transition from foreigners to members of mainstream America.
--Rick Halpern, University of Toronto
