- W183775737 abstract "semester, he showed me a long paper on the case which he had written for a course in political science. He also informed me that he had decided to go to law school and become an attorney. In this brief encounter with Italian-American history, he had not only discovered a sense of his own past, but of his future as well. And by doing so, he had also started his own journey on the path of which Eliot wrote by which he might redeem himself.3 This incident embodies what many of us have tried to do as teachers and scholars to give students and readers a usable past. For Italian Americans, the long roots of collective memory may go back in the distant history of Italy itself, but it eventually shifts to the experience. It may glance upon Dante, DaVinci or even Columbus, but it soon discovers the America of Sacco and Vanzetti, and focuses even more upon the parents and grandparents of the students and readers whom we wish to reach. It takes up the everyday lives of ordinary men and women, who left Italy not because they wanted to, but because they had to; who left their families not because they wished to abandon them, but because it was the only way that they could help them; and who left their ancestral villages not because they wished to forget their identity and traditional culture, but because they could not find their survival there. But they also returned in larger numbers than almost any other immigrant group to a homeland that they could not forget. Italians immigrated to America, not because they were searching for any American dream, but because its industries first needed more workers, before its economy later needed many more consumers to buy what they themselves had made in its shops, mills" @default.
