Focusing on this first and crucial Italian enclave in Boston, Puleo describes the experience of Italian immigrants as they battled poverty, illiteracy, and prejudice; explains their transformation into Italian Americans during the Depression and World War II; and chronicles their rich history in Boston up to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Puleo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807050377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807050378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.09w x 0.88d","brand":"Stephen Puleo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980566561023,"sku":"9780807050378","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3af05db0-b8a3-44fe-9abc-9cc1e4a1ba36.jpg?v=1683250636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boston-italians-stephen-puelo-9780807050378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
