Reviews

David Mungello s Remember This: A Family in America is an extra-ordinary non-fictional narrative. It is, on the one hand, a fascinating autobiography of an Italian American baby-boomer in the academy. On the other hand, it proves to be much more; namely, it is an in-depth analysis of the social dynamics of the 1960s and 1970s in the United States and their subsequent impact on society. Remember This is a must read for Italian Americans; for those wanting to enter the academy; for those who are looking for a unique perspective on the years of social change in the United States; and, last but not least, for those concerned with identity politics. Buona lettura!--Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean of the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute at Queens College
