Immigrating to the United States Italians like all others arriving on America's shores were made to fill out a standardized immigration form In the box for race they faced two choices North Italian or South Italian On the line requesting information on color they wrote simply white By World War II the only option they had for race & color questions was white This identification is suggestive of the many ways in which Italians became white on arrival in the United States as Thomas A Guglielmo demonstrates in this prize-winning book While many suffered from racial prejudice & discrimination they were nonetheless viewed as white with all the privileges this color classification bestowed in the corridors of American power-from judges to journalists from organized labor to politicians from race scientists to realtors Taking the mass Italian immigration of the late 19th century as his starting point & drawing on dozens of oral histories & a diverse array of primary sources in English & Italian Guglielmo focuses on how perceptions of Italians' race & color were shaped in one of America's great centers of immigration & labor Chicago His account skillfully weaves together the major events of Chicago immigrant history-the Chicago Color Riot of 1919 the rise of Italian organized crime & the rise of industrial unionism-with national & international events-such as the rise of fascism & the Italian-Ethiopian War of 1935-36-to present the story of how Italians approached learned & lived race By tracking their evolving position in the city's racial hierarchy Guglielmo reveals the impact of racial classification-both formal & informal-on immigrants' abilities to acquire homes & jobs start families & gain opportunities in America Carefully drawing the distinction between race & color Guglielmo argues that whiteness proved Italians' most valuable asset for making it in America Even so Italians were reluctant to identify themselves explicitly as white until World War II By separating examples of discrimination against Italians from the economic & social advantages they accrued from their acceptance as whites Guglielmo counters the claims of many ethnic Americans that hard work alone enabled their extraordinary success especially when compared to non-white groups whose upward mobility languished A compelling story White on Arrival contains profound implications for our understanding of race & ethnic acculturation in the United States as well as twentieth-century immigration urban & political history ...
