Description

Between Peasant and Urban Villager is a cultural history of the Italian-American working class in New Jersey and New York. This can be a demonstration of how the cultural realm functions as an arena of class conflict at the plane of on a regular basis life. It is usually a study of cultural discourses – Roman Catholicism, funerals, adolescence – and the rhetoric of day-to-day life which, in the course of the 1980s, at all times assumed a boundary of equally compelling, yet contrary cultural expressions which many have referred to as the dominant culture. The discourse of the world’s Anglo-American middle class, like that of Italian-American workers, has historically functioned to define an interior sense of togetherness in conjunction with an outward perception of otherness.
