A Sicilian in East Harlem

Mondello (emeritus, Rochester Institute of Technology) presents an autobiographical portrait of the relatively short-lived New York community of Italian East Harlem. He anecdotally describes the cultural milieu that he experienced growing up in the neighborhood and presents descriptions of significant individuals in his life that represented the vitality of the uptown "Little Italy."
