Abstract

Author(s): Moe, Nelson | Abstract: Between 1890 and 1915, approximately four million Italians emigrated to the United States. The categories of the Mediterranean and the South played an important role in the way this immigrant population (the largest in the United States) was imagined, represented, and administered. These categories (among others) informed both scholarly discourse and public discussion of the new immigration and of the place of Italians and of other Southern European peoples in American society.
