Description: Milwaukee's Italian Heritage: Mediterranean Roots in Midwestern Soil by Anthony M. Zignego Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The shores of Lake Michigan might seem a far cry from the coastline of the Mediterranean. Nevertheless, enough Italians responded to the call and returned home to repeat it confidently to brothers, brides and strangers to create a thriving community in Milwaukee. Historians often emphasize Milwaukees German heritage, content to relegate the story of Italian migration to New York or Chicago, but Anthony M. Zignego passionately explores the ways in which Italians shaped the Brew City and in turn were shaped by it. From the Gardetto family to the enterprising women of the Third Ward and Festa Italiana, Zignego presents a portrait of the immigrant experience with personal stories and interviews with ordinary immigrants and Milwaukeeans, explaining the communitys traditions and dispelling some of its myths. "Milwaukees Italian Heritage" highlights the struggles and triumphs that have always made immigration an opening clause and concluding question in the American story.
