Moreover, the decades leading up to the Columbian Quincentenary have been marked by the establishment of new Italian American museums, cultural centers, and archival collections. This timely publication, the fourth in Greenwood's series of Material Culture Directories, complements existing Italian American and Italian Canadian bibliographies and guides to collections by focusing on material culture and photographic collections, historic sites, and festivals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing an introductory overview, chapter 1 provides information on objects, photographics images, and, in a few cases, oral histories held by museums and other repositories in the United States and Canada. Chapter 2 lists churches, houses, commercial buildings, wineries, monuments, a few towns and neighborhoods, and other sites associated with Italian American history. Entries range from Manhattan's Casa Italiana to the Italian Rock ovens in Washington State. Chapter 3 covers over 100 religious feasts and secular festivals in which material culture or foodways play an important part in the lives of Italian Americans. Each chapter is arranged alphabetically by geographic location. The work concludes with a selected bibliography and name and subject indexes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Hobbie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 031327200X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313272004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 6.10w x 0.77d","brand":"Margaret Hobbie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064845840639,"sku":"9780313272004","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_058fcb46-2a4e-485d-9510-a48aa15a2bc3.jpg?v=1768671422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-american-material-culture-margaret-hobbie-9780313272004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
