About this title

Synopsis

The images in this book provide a pictorial tribute to all those who left their native villages in Italy in search of a new life across the English Channel. As the communities which they helped to create are as strong and dynamic as ever, this portrait of a migrant population reveals a different side of British history. Using a wealth of material to illustrate 150 years of Italian immigration, this book uses cartoons and drawings of the first arrivals and early sepia-tinted portraits of early family life.
