- W33560107 abstract "Pietro Di Donato’s Christ in Concrete is a powerful narrative of the cultural struggle of New York’s Italian laborers in the early twentieth century. The novel, published in 1939, stands as one of the best literary accounts of the Italian immigrants’ experience in the so called New World. As Jerre Mangione and Ben Morreale state in their historical work La Storia: “Never before or since has the aggravation of the Italian immigrant been more bluntly expressed by a novelist” 1 . One of the main components of this “aggravation” is the struggle, for both the author and his protagonist Little Paul, to reconcile the moral and spiritual guidance of t raditional Catholicism with the failure of that very religion to inspire any tangible improvement in the lives of its faithful. In a reality filled with deprivation, humiliation and exploitation, the Catholic institutions lose influence and effectiveness as capitalistic entities, represented by the allegorical Job and Boss, take their place. Di Donato’s achievements is his characterization, through Little Paul, of the heroic journey taken by so many immigrants, through loss of connections to the customs and values of a culture left behind, to a bitter recognition of themselves as the other, the outsider in a society that only pretends to accept them, to a final existencial awakening. The novel opens with the introduction of Paul’s father Geremio and his mother Annunziata. Geremio is an honest, hard-working man whose enduring loyalty and faith is reflected in his preservation of the old habits and customs and in the constant appeal to God for guidance:" @default.
