The Italians Who Built Toronto by Craig Phelan
After World War II hundreds of thousands of Italians emigrated to Toronto. This book describes their labour, business, social and cultural history as they settled in their new home. It addresses fundamental issues that impacted them and the city including ethnic economic niching, unionization, urban proletarianization and their entrepreneurship.
«Agnoletto's passionate embrace of his subject does not weaken the rigor of his analysis, but neither is it dull; he transforms demographic, economic, social, and political data gleaned from a wide variety of sources into a highly engaging narrative»
