| In the face of a growing scholarship stressing Italian Americans' conservatism, the purpose of the book under review here is to rescue the radical experience of this ethnic minority from historical oblivion. To this end, Philip V. Cannistraro and Gerald Meyer have gathered an impressive collection of essays that deal with the multifaceted components of such a tradition, spanning from the inner struggles within the anarchist movement at the turn of the twentieth century to the activities of Father James Groppi and Mario Savio in the civil rights and student movements of the 1960s. |
