Book Description
This second edition features new introductory material, new phots, and a new dust jacket. Fede was raised in Birmingham, Alabama's Little Italy. He tells us how labor shortages drew Italian immigrants to Birmingham's coal and steel industries. These new Americans quickly became farmers, grocers, and merchants, and the next generation became doctors, bankers, and lawyers. Their collective history helped shape the culture of the growing city, which was enriched by their contributions to religion, sports, art, commerce, and politics. |

Priceless 
This book is a must-have for any Italian American who has roots in Alabama. My family is mentioned in the book and thereby will live on in loving memory. This book is not only important Alabama history, but will be a resource for history buffs across the board!

Awesome book for Italian Geneology in Birmingham
If you have family members that immigrated to the US and settled in the Ensley, AL and Bessemer, AL areas then this book is a wonderful addition to your home library and a big help with your family research. The families mentioned in the book were not mine but the other related discussion helped me understand more about my Italian heritage.
