Description

Newark's Little Italy: The Vanished First Ward by Michael Immerso is a historical account of the transformation of a small Italian-American neighborhood in Newark, New Jersey. From its origins in the 1870s to its eventual demolition in 1953, this book tells the story of how the district evolved from an immigrant quarter into a thriving community. Richly illustrated with photographs from private collections, the book provides a unique glimpse into the lives of Italian-American families who called the First Ward home. The images, along with Immerso's detailed narrative, bring to life the history and culture of this fascinating neighborhood. Through its pages, Newark's Little Italy: The Vanished First Ward offers a poignant reminder of the impact of urban renewal on American communities.
