A detailed history of Italian immigrants' personal experience of language in America
Nancy C. Carnevale is an associate professor of history at Montclair State University.
"By focusing on the everyday linguistic practices of ordinary immigrants, Carnevale's study is truly path-breaking, opening new ground in the study of immigrant language usage. Refreshingly original and enormously stimulating." Donna Gabaccia, co-editor of American Dreaming, Global Realities: Rethinking U.S. Immigration History "In A New Language, A New World, Nancy C. Carnevale does something that historians have long claimed that they would do, but in fact never did: she takes language seriously. Carnveale focuses on the language world of Italian immigrants in the United States and examines in intricate and intimate detail how language shaped them and structured their encounter with America." Hasia R. Diner, author of Hungering for America: Italian, Irish and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration
