A Comparative Analysis Of Blacks And Italians In New York City At The Turn Of The Century (1900).
This paper will present a different culture versus structure analysis of two groups. American Blacks will be used as one of the racial groups. They are a highly significant group around 1900 in New York City. They were not immigrants as such. However, many did migrate to the north from the south where they established Harlem. They share many of the characteristics of the other immigrant groups, which are usually studied as immigrant groups. The other groups included in the comparison are the Italian immigrants to New York City, particularly from Calabria. Calabria, like the American south at that time, was a poor part of Italy and Calabrese (like American blacks), were often considered inferior to other Italians. 5 pgs. 3 f/c. 5b.
