"The book is very pleasing and easy to read. Some essays, particularly those based on personal memoirs, are really moving and made me rethink in a more profound manner about deeply rooted behaviors." -Maria Kaliambou, Western Folklore "Sciorra's book conveys a strong sense of urgency to reexamine and re-think what we know about Italian Americans, while contributing to the legitimization of Italian-American folklore." -Modern Italy "It is rare to call a work of academic scholarship a page turner, but I think this collection is worthy of the honor... To put it bluntly, this collection is a joy to read." -- Stephen Olbrys Gencarella -Journal of Folklore Research
