Excerpt from The Italians in America The New Americans Series consists of studies of the following racial groups, together with a study of the Eastern Orthodox Churches: Albanian and Bulgarian, Armenian and Assyrian-Chaldean, Czecho-Slovak, Greek, Italian, Jewish, Jugo-Slav (Croatian, Servian, Slovenian), Magyar, Polish, Russian and Ruthenian, or Ukrainian, Spanish (Spaniards) and Portuguese, Syrian. These studies, made under the auspices of the Interchurch World Movement were undertaken to show, in brief outline, the social, economic and religious background, European or Asiatic, of each group and to present the experience - social, economic and religious - of the particular group in America, with special reference to the contact of the given people with religious institutions in America. It was designed that the studies should be sympathetic but critical. It is confidently believed that this series will help America to appreciate and appropriate the spiritual wealth represented by the vast body of New Americans, each group having its own peculiar heritage and potentialities; and will lead Christian America, so far as she will read them, to become a better lover of mankind. The writer, in each case, is a kinsman or has had direct and intimate relationship with the people, or group of peoples, presented. First hand knowledge and the ability to study and write from a deeply sympathetic and broadly Christian viewpoint were primary conditions in the selection of the authors.

Excerpt from The Italian in America The design of "The Italian in America" is to present clearly the contribution of Italy to American development and citizenship. The work is one of a series reviewing the influx of the various racial strains and nationalities that are making up the composite American. The authors have in view simply the recital of facts for impartial consideration, for no concern of this country is more momentous and urgent than the national dealing with the problems of immigration, congestion, distribution and education for American standards of living and citizenship. To exclude what is essentially bad or unfusible from any source - to welcome and utilize what is essentially good and helpful, even if yet imperfectly developed, is in the judgment of the authors the true American policy.

Excerpt from Social and Religious Life of Italians in America Several years ago a great publishing house desired to get a German book translated into English. The first writer to whom this commission was given was found to know German well, but English not so well. A second writer was found to be better acquainted with English than he was with German. It was not until after a good deal of searching that the happy discovery was made of a man who could both read German and write English excellently. A like discovery appears in the pages of this book. Mr. Sartorio knows the Italian people by nature and by long and intimate acquaintance, and he knows the American people by wise observation and by the fortunate experience of illuminating friendships. Thus he stands in a position which fits him for the important work of interpretation. Our present national situation brings into strong light the unwelcome fact that we have great numbers of neighbors who are not even hyphenated Americans. They are not Americans at all, except by the accident of residence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cart of Many Colors a Story of Italy Signs over the little shops would be written in Italian words; and all the babies would have dark Italian eyes and Shy Italian smiles; and all the people in the street would talk and laugh and sing in Italian; and out of all the doorways would come the smell of Italian cooking. And sometimes, at night, the whole street would be decked and garlanded with little electric lights, red and white and green, to celebrate the birth day Of the Italian saint who used to be the guardian spirit of the old Village in Italy, and who of course had emigrated with his villagers when they came to the new world. The Italians are not the only people who get together in groups and colonies in Our Amer ican cities. The Poles, the Russian Jews, the Germans, the Chinese, all the lonely new immi grants do it. They feel strange and far away from their own lands in this new country, and they want to live next door to some one who understands their language and their Old life. But thoughtful Americans are beginning to see that these little patches of Poland, Germany, Italy, are almost as far from America as if they were still on the other Side of the ocean. Daily messages, by cable and wireless, flash between Italy and America, but between Little Italy and Riverside Drive, in New York, there is no wire less; Mars and the Earth are not more far apart in some ways. It is to help Old Ameri cans and new Americans to get together and understand each other that little books like this one are written, - old Americans whose grand parents were born here, and new Americans whose children will be born here.

Excerpt from American Notes: And Pictures From Italy IT is nearly eight years since this book was first published. I present it, unaltered, in the Cheap Edition; and such of my opinions as it expresses, are quite unaltered too. My readers have opportunities of judging for themselves whether the influences and tendencies which I distrust in America, have any existence not in my imagination. They can examine for themselves whether there has been anything in the public career of that country during these past eight years, or whether there is anything in its present position, at home or abroad, which suggests that those influences and tendencies really do exist. As they find the fact, they will judge me. If they discern any evidences of wrong - going in any direction that I have indicated, they will acknow ledge that I had reason in what I wrote. If they discern no such thing, they will consider me altogether mistaken. Prejudiced, I never have been otherwise than in favour of the United States. No visitor can ever have set foot on those shores, with a stronger faith in the Republic than I had, when I landed in America. I purposely abstain from extending these observations to any length. I have nothing to defend, or to explain away. The truth is the truth; and neither childish absurdities, nor unscrupulous contradictions, can make it otherwise. The earth would still move round the sun, though the whole Catholic Church said No. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Italian Contribution to American Democracy Purpose - What is there about the American of Italian extraction that distinguishes him from other Americans? Is there a real difference? The Americans of Italian extraction that are studied here form one of the largest elements numerically in our population. Before any adequate understanding of them is to be had a thoroughly modern and scientific sociological survey needs to be made with respect to their individual natures and their concerted or group reactions. The purpose of this study is to afford a sociological evaluation of the psychological traits and social organization of this type of American, based upon a first hand investigation of the type in question. Personal experience gained through a variety of contacts with these people, supplemented by information gained in interviews with people who are closest to this problem afforded the bulk of the evidence analyzed. Where personal interviews were out of the question, in many cases it was possible to get at the ideas that exist regarding these people by means of a questionnaire described in a later chapter. The information gathered from the above sources and elsewhere, as will be described later, is used to denote the sociological status of Americans of Italian extraction in New York City. These Americans, like the second generation of Americans of other racial stocks, form an integral part of our American population, distinct and apart from our immigrant population "per se." Whereas in the past in considering the status of the racial elements within our borders one's chief attention or interest centered upon a type that was either foreign or Americanized through the legal naturalization process, here the emphasis is to be placed upon a type that to begin with is American.

Excerpt from Italy and the Italians To-night, under a nearly full moon, the peasants are practising their dances and songs for to-morrow's feast - the feast of St Sebastian. I am brought from the fireside about ten o'clock out under the stars, to listen to them. The sky is very clear, and the moon rides easily, like a pale lady on horseback, among the stars, that seem incomparably far away. The plaintive, poignant sweetness of the mandolins floating away from me out across the silver levels of water, throbs almost bitterly it seems to me, as I lean over the verandah listening. Just at the bottom of my garden, but on higher ground, - on a kind of a promontory, in fact, that juts out into the sea, - is the cemetery, full of tall calm cypresses that look jet black against the paleness of the sky. Far away, somewhere deep down in the valley, a bugle calls, and as the notes gallop towards me, a curious emotion sweeps through my blood, and I feel the splendours of the pageants and of all the royalty of the emperors and kings that are no more.

Excerpt from Waldo Trench and Others: Stories of Americans in Italy I thought of all those old things at Ravenna which were soon - thanks to my sudden surrender to the caprice of travel - to be mine, and added: What reckless improvidence, however!
