With Malice Aforethought
On April 15, 1920, five bandits robbed and killed a paymaster and his guard in a Boston suburb. The police charged Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the crime. They were local immigrant workers associated with a detested anarchist group. A year later, a jury convicted Sacco and Vanzetti of murder during a period of anti-communist hysteria in America. They were executed after six years of failed appeals, despite proven misconduct by prosecutors and the judge and a confessed participant in the crime who swore that the two Italians were not involved. Worldwide protests erupted. Millions claimed the two were framed and executed for their political beliefs. Author Ted Grippo takes the rea...

A Small Book of Essays on Peacemaking Criminology
In this concise and valuable collection of essays, Louis J. Gesualdi provides readers with an understanding of peacemaking criminology. Peacemaking criminology is a humane, nonviolent, and scientific approach in its treatment of crime and the offender. It looks at crime as just one of the many types of suffering that exemplify human life. Efforts to put a stop to such suffering—according to peacemaking criminologists—should take into account a main rebuilding of America’s social institutions, such as the economic system, the criminal justice system, and the health care system so that they no longer create suffering. The United States as a society pays no notice to prevention, but rather adheres to the belief of imprisonment and punishment. The twelve essays in this book focus on how peacemaking criminology aids in the prevention of crime, the rehabilitation of offenders, and involves the core principles of social justice and human rights.

How Italian Immigrants Made America Home
The Italian mass migration from Italy happened during a period of political and economic upheaval. Many Italian immigrants faced isolation, discrimination, and fear as they worked to learn English and assimilate to their new home. Despite such obstacles, they also created neighborhoods that continued their cultural traditions as they worked to adapt. Readers will learn why Italian immigrants left Italy, where they settled in America once they arrived, and how they became one of the most influential cultures on American society. The story of Italian immigration comes alive in this volume written by someone whose family endured it.
True North
L’identità del Canada è il risultato delle influenze che il territorio, la storia e la cultura esercitano su un Paese grande come un continente e meno conosciuto di quanto possa sembrare. Il Canada nasce da un compromesso instabile tra le sue componenti originarie inglese, francese e indigena. Compromesso non semplice né agevole, ma che ha infine portato alla creazione di uno degli esempi più riusciti di società multiculturale al mondo, che comprende anche una delle principali comunità italiane fuori dai nostri confini. La narrazione inizia con il ripercorrere il lungo percorso che parte dalle origini indigene e francesi, per passare al Dominion britannico e giungere infine al Paese dinamico e moderno che conosciamo, per poi soffermarsi sugli aspetti che maggiormente definiscono l’identità canadese che vanno dal complesso rapporto con gli Stati Uniti, al peacekeeping e alle espressioni artistiche, senza dimenticare la profonda relazione con la natura.
