 Green, White, and RedAbout the Book Contents About the Author About the Publisher Ordering Information About the BookGreen, White, and Red traces the tremendous progress of the Italian immigrants and their descendants in the United States. This book by Dominic Pulera looks at how these individuals overcame poverty and discrimination to achieve great success over the last one hundred years. Pulera credits Italian Americans for embracing their country and working very hard to make it in America—and celebrates the United States for giving them the opportunities to do so.Stories, anecdotes, and reflections form the core of this book. Such material highlights the breadth and richness of the Italian-American experience. By examining the history of Italian Americans, one of America’s largest ethnic groups, we can draw insights that apply to current discussions of immigration, too. The Italian-American story, after all, is a quintessentially American narrative of faith, family, and work. back to top ContentsPrologue: American and Italian 9Part I: Social and Economic Indicators 1.
