Anthony V. Riccio's lavish new coffee table book, The Italian American Experience in New Haven: Images and Oral Histories, provides a fascinating look at the experiences of Italian immigrants and their children in one east coast community. The field of immigration history has certainly benefited from the wealth of oral histories collected from immigrants and their descendants. Ranging from Al Santoli's New Americans, an Oral History: Immigrants and Refugees in the U. S. Today (1988) to works such as La Merica: Images of Italian Greenhorn Experience (1985)
