Reframing Italian America brings to light forty-one historical photographs from the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute’s Bernard Titowsky Collection; and it features essays by Dominique Padurano; Joseph Sciorra; and John Turturro. The majority of the 222 items in the Titowsky Collection depict scenes of Italian immigrant life throughout the United States from the first three decades of the twentieth century. A significant number are mounted on now-faded gray paperboard and captioned with ornate calligraphy; presumably part of a previous exhibition. The reframing of these images is an opportunity to discover these obscure visual documents and observe how Italian immigrants refashioned themselves in the process of transforming America.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Sound scripture studyBy CeCeA sound scriptural study of the women God placed in his plan of salvation history. I would ignore the only bad review (so far). I believe she may have read a couple of pages only when she wrote the review - the author speaks in only 1 paragraph about orphans in Russia. The book is mostly scripture based and not much on the authors personal stories. She seemed upset because it took her so long to get it. I received mine in 3 days (not prime).2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Learned much I did not know never thought about how many special women are addressed in the Bible even though few compared to men. Used with a book club from my church. Would highly recommend it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. action provokingBy Faith Formation DirectorI read this book hoping to learn more about the lives of women in the Bible; but this study drew me much deeper. I have begun to personally relate to those ancient woman and see how their struggles and virtues are lessons very applicable to my life. Our group had some great discussions as the questions challenged us to go beyond reading and take action. I'm so glad we did this study.
