Opis

First published in 1999, and long since out of print, Italian Lives, Cape Breton Memories is now re-released for a new generation. The book conveys the rich and varied experiences of Italians living in Cape Breton in their own words--the immigration experience; work experience in the home, the steel plant and the coal mines, and life in business, politics and other areas of endeavour. As ethnographers, editors and analysts, Sam Migliore and Evo DiPierro help illuminate a variety of other important and sensitive subjects: the treatment of Italians during the Second World War; the maintenance of a sense of cultural identity and traditions; and the sorrow of watching family and friends leave the island for employment elsewhere.
