Abstract

The experience of Italians in the United States should not be viewed in terms of rupture with Italian life but rather in a perspective of continuity even if the American environment influenced the immigrants’ lifestyle. The interaction between their communities and American society led to an Italian-American identity born out of a renegotiation of their original identities, the building of a national consciousness, and their Americanization. Hence they became white ethnics.
