Description
Pascal D'Angelo's Son of Italy is an impassioned account of his struggles against adversity. Born in the Abruzzi region of Italy, D'Angelo recounts his experiences as a "pick and shovel" worker in America at the beginning of the twentieth century, where he faced harsh working conditions that many immigrants endured. D'Angelo's journey was not just about material success; he also sought to make a name for himself as a poet. He submitted his work to prestigious literary journals, eventually achieving recognition. However, this success came with a cost, as D'Angelo exposed the complexities of assimilation and the challenges faced by immigrant writers during that era. This autobiography is a multifaceted exploration of social themes, offering a nuanced perspective on the immigrant experience. Guernica Editions presents its first English reprint since 1924, providing readers with a unique insight into D'Angelo's life and work.
