Academic Perceptions of Italian American Immigration as Seen in Scholarly Journals of the 1880's

This book attempts to highlight anytime "Italian immigration" or "Italian immigrants" are mentioned in a scholarly periodical, including both passing notations and in-depth critical analyses of these topics. These references allow us to examine the initial and evolving perceptions of the academic community toward mass Italian American immigration from its basic beginnings in the early 1880s through the end of that decade. In addition, references about Italian immigration from the popular periodical press of the time are juxtaposed with the scholarly references to allow further insight into the erudite community's perceptions as they are framed within the public opinion of the day. Thus this study researches the perspectives of the researchers of a time that saw great changes in society and America's national identity.
