Italian American Studies Courses: fall 2005
Courses Offered at Queens College and John D. Calandra Italian American Institute
This course will attempt to reconstruct the history of Italian immigration to the United States by examining not only the external factors affecting southern Italian immigrants, but also more importantly the internal factors that informed their experience. By exploring topics such as radical politics, labor, family, religion, culture, race, Fascism, stereotypes and identity, a more complex and multifaceted historical depiction of the Italian immigrant experience in America will emerge.
