About this book

IMMIGRANTS ON THE HILL by Mormino, Gary. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780252012617.

In Immigrants on the Hill, Gary Mormino traces the Hill’s evolution from its roots in Lombardy and Sicily to contemporary times, focusing on those institutions that have sustained and nurtured the community. He reveals how, in work, play, religion, politics, and even bootlegging, Hill Italian-Americans have consistently encouraged ethnic pride, working-class solidarity, and family honor. His study, now with a new preface, shows why this ethnic enclave has garnered national attention.
