Not quite what I expected, but good nonetheless,

This review is from: From Sicily to Elizabeth Street: Housing and Social Change Among Italian Immigrants, 1880-1930 (Suny Series in American Social History) (Suny Series, American Social History) (Paperback)
I bought this book because my Sicilian immigrant ancestors were living on Elizabeth Street in New Jersey.This book, of course, is not about them specifically, nor their location; it refers to the tenement housing in New York which had a very high percentage (if not exclusive) of Sicilian residents. It tells their story; the story of their housing, their hardships, and why they left Sicily to start with. This book is short, but it is also mostly a social dissertation. Not casual reading. :) It also has some utterly fascinating pictures and diagrams, both on this side of the 'pond' and natively. |
