Little Italy in the Great War: Philadelphia's Italians on the Battlefield and Home Front
Autor Richard N. Julianien Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2019
The Great War challenged all who were touched by it. Italian immigrants, torn between their country of origin and country of relocation, confronted political allegiances that forced them to consider the meaning and relevance of Americanization. In his engrossing study, Little Italy in the Great War, Richard Juliani focuses on Philadelphia’s Italian community to understand how this vibrant immigrant population reacted to the war as they were adjusting to life in an American city that was ambivalent toward them.
Juliani explores the impact of the Great War on many immigrant soldiers who were called to duty as reservists and returned to Italy, while other draftees served in the U.S. Army on the Western Front. He also studies the impact of journalists and newspapers reporting the war in English and Italian, and reactions from civilians who defended the nation in industrial and civic roles on the home front.
Within the broader context of the American experience, Little Italy in the Great War examines how the war affected the identity and cohesion of Italians as a population still passing through the assimilation process.

Recenzii
"Juliani offers the fullest account yet of the transatlantic politics of military recruitment and its impact on Italian communities. Readers are much in his debt for this, the most valuable new research in this book.... Little Italy in the Great War offers a rich chronicle of Philadelphia's Italian community as it was situated in the city, in the nation, and in a world at war."—Italian American Review
"Scholars of World War I, ethnic history, and gender will find this book useful. While the book centers primarily on World War I and ethnic history, Juliani’s examination of Italian American women’s efforts during the war also advances the current understanding of immigrant women during the Great War. Little Italy in the Great War provides key insights about the home front and immigrant experience in the United States."—Journal of American Ethnic History
"Juliani describes the impact of World War I on our city’s Italian community, then the second largest in America. Through individual stories gleaned from period sources, Juliani puts human faces on existential choices about home, loyalty, and belonging.... Juliani’s almost granular treatment of his subject reflects his personal connection and the quality of his sources."—Broad Street Review
"Juliani provides an admirably researched microhistory that explores how Philadelphia’s Italian Americans responded to the demands of World War I.... Juliani’s publication makes a very strong contribution to the study of Philadelphia’s social history in the early 20th century. He deepens our understanding of how the Great War shaped Italian ethnic identity as immigrants and their children began to amalgamate within a wider American community."—Pennsylvania Heritage
"[A]n exhaustive account of how the city's Italian immigrants were affected by World War I and how they perceived their immigrant status while maintaining strong ties to their native country.... [An] enlightening and well-researched book."—The Delaware Valley Italian-American Herald
