title: The Italian American Table: Food, Family, and Community in New York City
author:  Simone Cinotto 
description: <DIV><DIV>&quot;Written with passion and clarity, <I>The Italian American Table</I> represents a stunning achievement.&#160; While tackling an irresistible topic--the meaning of food in the lives of Italian immigrants and their children--Simone Cinotto has managed to write a book that should please a wide range of interdisciplinary scholars and readers.&quot;--<I>The Journal of American History</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &quot;Interesting insight on the culinary history of the Italian diaspora. The book introduces wider reflections on the role of food production, preparation, and consumption in immigrant communities, a theme that is as urgent today as it was in the past century.&quot;--<I>Gastronomica</I></DIV></DIV><br /><br /><DIV>&quot;Insightful, pathbreaking research. . . . a new perspective on the linkage between food and family. Recommended.&quot;--<I>Choice</I><BR /><BR /> &quot;In recent years, food studies have become a growing area of interdisciplinary scholarship... Simone Cinott&#39;s book, <I>The Italian American Table: Food, Family, and Community in New York City</I>, makes a significant contribution to this body of scholarship... A rich and important edition. This admirable piece of scholarship transcends disciplinary boundaries and should interest scholars and students of history, ethnic studies, food studies, gender and urban studies, as well as those of business and marketing. It will join the ranks of the classic studies of Italian American History.&quot;--<I>Journal of American Ethnic History</I><BR /> &#160;</DIV><br /><br />&quot;In clear, bright prose Cinotto focuses on the period spanning from 1920 to 1940, and thus extends beyond the years of intense Italian immigration to include generational change and later cultural reproduction&hellip; The book appropriately cleaves between Italian American immigrant&#39;s food culture and later attempts at selling &#39;Italian&#39; food to white Americans&hellip; Food is part of a larger cultural economy here, and Cinotto sheds some light on its production as a symbol and commodity over several generations.&quot;--<I>American Historical Review</I><BR /> &#160;<DIV><BR /> &quot;Simone Cinotto&#39;s <I>The Italian American Table</I> is a substantial documentation of beliefs most foodways scholars, and most Americans, already share: that food is important to Italian American families, that the entrepreneurial spirit of Italian American emigrants shared Italian food with an ever-wider group of non-Italian Americans, and that, to some extent, the food story of Italian life in America has already been told by popular fiction, film, and television in a way that orients our contemporary understanding of Italian Americans and Italian food... <I>The Italian American Table</I> is a fulfilling treatment of the domestic and commercial foodways particular to Italian Americans in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s.&quot;--<I>Western Folklore</I><BR /> &#160;</DIV>
