Description

This groundbreaking study examines how southern Italian immigrants arriving in the United States during the 1870s were perceived through the lens of racial inferiority, a phenomenon David A. J. Richards identifies as "nonvisibly" black status. The book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Italian immigrant acculturation within the context of European and American racism patterns of that era. Richards explores the political and legal frameworks underlying flawed liberal nationalism in both Italy during the Risorgimento and the United States following the Reconstruction Amendments. This essential work traces how Italian Americans navigated identity formation amid systemic racial hierarchies, offering crucial insights into how ethnic groups were racialized within American society. The text contributes significantly to understanding immigration history, racial theory, and the complex processes by which European immigrants eventually achieved white racial status in the American context.
