From the Little Italies to the Emancipation of the Italiano Mafioso
Abstract
This article analyzes the image of the Italian Mafioso as a stereotype on which Italianism was based in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. That generic and offensive approach has continued over time and has created problems of assimilation for the Italian immigrant in the United States and caused his ghettoization in the Little Italies present in various American cities until his later emancipation.
