At the close of the nineteenth century, Louisianaâ??s portshosted an influx of Italian immigrants. Like so many immigrant communitiesbefore, acclimating to their new home was not easy. Though the Italiancontribution to Louisianaâ??s culture is palpable and celebrated, at one time ethnicItalians were constantly embroiled in scandal, sometimes deserved and sometimesas scapegoats. The new immigrants hoped that they would be welcomed and see forthemselves the â??streets paved with gold.â? Their new lives, however, weredifficult. Italians in Louisiana faced prejudice, violence and political exilefor their refusal to accept the southern racial mores. Author and historianAlan Gauthreaux documents the experience of those Italians who arrivedin Louisiana over one hundred years ago.
