An examination of Italian immigrants and their children in the early twentieth century; A New Language; A New World is the first full-length historical case study of one immigrant group's experience with language in America. Incorporating the interdisciplinary literature on language within a historical framework; Nancy C. Carnevale illustrates the complexity of the topic of language in American immigrant life. By looking at language from the perspectives of both immigrants and the dominant culture as well as their interaction; this book reveals the role of language in the formation of ethnic identity and the often coercive context within which immigrants must negotiate this process.

I was involved in many of the incidents written about here; and the author has them absolutely correct.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must Read for anyone interested in the Cold War.By William BradleyAn excellent book on the Sub Service in the UK during the Cold War.A must read for anyone interested in this era.I have to comment that it seems like two different books melded together. The stories of the submarines in action is fast paced and riveting; but the sections discussing the politics of financing and building the sub force can be a bit plodding and tedious.All in all though; a great book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
