The generation of Italian radical activists who emigrated, or fled, to the United States during the Progressive era has long been a topic of historical inquiry on both sides of the Atlantic. Having left their country during a particularly conflict-ridden period of Italian history, and reflecting the entire spectrum of radical ideologies that animated the Italian workers' movement, their experiences in the United States intersected with virtually all the organizations that made up the American Left and with the major attempts to organize Italian immigrant workers. Not surprisingly, they have been high on the research agenda of some of Italy's leading Americanists, while at the same time receiving extensive treatment in the works of prominent U.S. immigration historians such as Rudolph J. Vecoli, George E. Pozzetta, and Donna R. Gabaccia, among others. |
