Were You Always an Italian

Maria Laurino grew up in New Jersey as a rigorously assimilated third-generation Italian-American, but it wasn`t until she was an adult that she began to think about her ethnicity and what it meant. In this lively memoir, she ponders Italian cultural issues, including dialect, politics, religion, and fashion. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
