The Soul of an Immigrant (1921)

The Soul of an Immigrant is a memoir written by Constantine Maria Panunzio in 1921. The book chronicles Panunzio's own experiences as an Italian immigrant to the United States. Panunzio was born in Italy and immigrated to the United States in 1895. He worked as a laborer and eventually became a professor of sociology at New York University. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes Panunzio's childhood in Italy, his decision to immigrate to the United States, and his experiences as an immigrant in New York City. The second part of the book focuses on Panunzio's experiences as a laborer in the United States. He describes the harsh working conditions, low wages, and discrimination faced by immigrant workers. The final part of the book explores Panunzio's academic career and his research on immigration and assimilation. He argues that immigrants must balance their desire to maintain their cultural identity with the need to assimilate into American society. The Soul of an Immigrant is an important historical document that provides a firsthand account of the immigrant experience in the United States during the early 20th century.
