An Unlikely Union tells the dramatic story of how two of America’s largest ethnic groups learned to love and laugh with each other after decades of animosity.They came from the poorest parts of Ireland and Italy and met as rivals on the sidewalks of New York. Beginning in the nineteenth century, the Irish and Italians clashed in the Catholic Church, on the waterfront, at construction sites, and in the streets. Then they made peace through romance, marrying each other on a large scale in the years after World War II.The vibrant cast of characters features saints such as Mother Frances X. Cabrini, who stood up to the Irish American archbishop of New York when he tried to send her back to Italy, and sinners like Al Capone, who left his Irish wife home the night he shot it out with Brooklyn’s Irish mob. The book also highlights the torrid love affair between radical labor organizers Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Carlo Tresca; the alliance between Italian American gangster Paul Kelly and Tammany’s “Big Tim” Sullivan; heroic detective Joseph Petrosino’s struggle to be accepted in the Irish-run NYPD; and the competition between Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby to become the country’s top male vocalist. In this engaging history of the Irish and Italians, veteran New York City journalist and professor Paul Moses offers a classic American story of competition, cooperation, and resilience. At a time of renewed fear of immigrants, An Unlikely Union reminds us that Americans are able to absorb tremendous social change and conflict—and come out the better for it.An Unlikely Union tells the dramatic story of how two of America’s largest ethnic groups learned to love and laugh with each other after decades of animosity.They came from the poorest parts of Ireland and Italy and met as rivals on the sidewalks of New York.

Italian Americana is the first and only historical and cultural journal about the Italian experience in America. It was founded by Richard Gambino in 1974. Carol Albright is the editor-in-chief. John Paul Russo is co-editor and review editor and Christine Palamidessi Moore is the senior editor and the supplementary website editor (www.italianamericana.com). The journal contains historical articles, literary and cultural criticism, fiction, memoirs, poems, and reviews as well as an occasional report on dissertations having to do with Italian Americans. Succeeding Dana Gioia, who was poetry editor from 1994-2003, is the current editor, Michael Palma. Articles have ranged from topics on the paintings of Ralph Fasanella and the fiction and theatre of Don DeLillo, to Horatio Alger’s Italian Phil the Fiddler, the Sicilian latifondia, Italians and the Lawrence strike of 1912, and Protestant Italian Americans, among others. Award-winning authors, such as Salvatore LaPuma and Mary Caponegro (who received an honorable mention in the Best Short Stories of 1998 for work published in Italian Americana) have published stories and Jay Parini, Sandra Gilbert, and Lewis Turco have published their poems in the journal. An annual competition the Monsignor Geno Baroni Competititon, is given each year for the best history article printed in the journal; one piece of creative writing published in the journal is annually designated the Salvator and Margaret Bonomo Memorial Competition winner.
