By the author of RAISING SIX AND SOMEWHAT SANE, DON'T TOUCH THE TOMATOES is the story of where Barbara's Italian family began,in Cefalu',Siciliy. Giovanni Aquila who owned Aquila Fruits And Vegetables in Lexington Market, and Simone Brocato who owned Brocato Shoe Repair on North Avenue in Baltimore City in the 1920's, came to America as young boys from Sicily. Giovanni married Anna Battaglia and Simone married Rose Centineo who was to be the matriarch of the family. This is their story, Italian immigrants who lived a life of hard work, birthing babies, cooking for tons of relatives, making their own wine, and dancing to the music of the mandolin. The men served in the war and the women served their men.La sua famiglia faithfully loved one another and stuck together like glue through The Depression and two World Wars. It is a story of bravery and determination to make a life in Baltimore, Maryland in the early 1900's , not knowing the language or the customs of American life.
"This edited collection presents articles in southern food studies by a range of writers, from established scholars like Psyche Williams-Forson to emerging scholars like Rien Fertel. All are chosen for a combination of accessible writing and solid scholarship and offer stories and historical details that add to our understanding of the complexities of southern food and foodways. The editors have chosen to organize the collection by methodology in part in order to escape what reader Belasco calls "the tradition-inventing, nostalgic approach of so many books about regional foodways." They also aim to advance the field by presenting articles that represent a range of tools and methodologies from disciplines such as history, geography, social sciences, American studies, gender studies, literary theory, visual and aural studies, cultural studies and technology studies that make up the amazingly multifaceted world of academic food studies, in hopes that this structure can help further a conversation about best practices"--
The influence of Italians in American cuisine, industry, sports, entertainment, and language is profound. Using photographs to illustrate more than a century of Italian experiences in the United States, the author provides an intimate and informed glimpse into the history of prejudice, hardship, celebration, and success faced by this rich Mediterranean people. A celebration of common men and women alongside notable Italian American celebrities and public figures, this book is a cultural photo album.--From publisher description.
In Creole Italian, Justin A. Nystrom explores the influence Sicilian immigrants have had on New Orleans foodways. His culinary journey follows these immigrants from their first impressions on Louisiana food culture in the mid-1830s and along their path until the 1970s. Each chapter touches on events that involved Sicilian immigrants and the relevancy of their lives and impact on New Orleans. Sicilian immigrants cut sugarcane, sold groceries, ran truck farms, operated bars and restaurants, and manufactured pasta. Citing these cultural confluences, Nystrom posits that the significance of Sicilian influence on New Orleans foodways traditionally has been undervalued and instead should be included, along with African, French, and Spanish cuisine, in the broad definition of "creole." Creole Italian chronicles how the business of food, broadly conceived, dictated the reasoning, means, and outcomes for a large portion of the nearly forty thousand Sicilian immigrants who entered America through the port of New Orleans in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and how their actions and those of their descendants helped shape the food town we know today.

Yet, despite these andother advantages of options, many investors shy away from thishighly lucrative type of speculation because of the seemi...
Although the risk of death and great bodily harm were foreseeable, rather than changing their conduct they chose to run the risk. A sinister gamble virtually assuring death with the greatest possible violence. It is apparent that both corporations had willfully entered into an amoral and criminal quagmire that the law can only begin to address. The children's mortal wounds are quintessential examples of theocratic and bureaucratic corruption fulfilling their deadly potential.
