The Italians

by Kathleen R. Fahey

At the height of migration from Italy, children were recruited under the Padroni system and brought to North America to work as shoe shiners, musicians, and even acrobats. Featuring full-colour artwork and eyewitness accounts, this book gives an account of how Italians first came to North America and how their traditions are still celebrated.
