The Special Kid
The Special Kid is about a young boy who began school in a segregated "special needs" class. However, because he worked so diligently, he earned the right to become a member of a regular classroom. This tale tells of how a little boy became a great man through hard work, determination and acceptance. I hope this saga helps people realize that just because a child has a special need or disability, it does not mean that one should expect less from that child. Children who start life with limitations may still excel in intelligence and creativity or even become accomplished athletes. Given the opportunity, they may accomplish great things.

Hopelessly Alien
Hopelessly Alien is an in-depth study of Italian immigration to Chicago Heights, Illinois, between 1910 and 1950. Drawing upon oral histories, interviews, historical documents, and census materials, Louis Corsino examines the critical concept of hope, which most immigration studies have cast in privatized, psychological terms as the motivation to emigrate in search of a better life. This investigation offers a more contentious, sociological perspective, depicting hope as both an ideological lure to recruit and manage the "foreign element" and as a resource immigrants employed to purchase acceptance and avoid a disparaging label as a "hopelessly alien" stranger. These dialectical processes are illustrated through the Italian immigrants' pursuit of occupational mobility and homeownership, and the appropriation of their children's hopes. Each became forms of cultural capital that demonstrated a public commitment to the American ethos of "joyful striving." Each provided measures of success, but these individual pursuits came at the expense of upsetting the necessary tension between individual and communal hopes.
