Social Capital in the City: Community and Civic Life in Philadelphia Edited by AYUMI TAKENAKA AND MARY JOHNSON OSIRIM TEMPLE UNIVERSITY PRESS Philadelphia 1 Philadelphia^ Immigrant Communities in Historical Perspective AYUMI TAKENAKA AND MARY JOHNSON OSIRIM hiladelphia has remained an understudied site of immigration to the United States, yet, immigration has, in fact, played a significant role Pin shaping the life of the city Once a center of industriahzation and a haven of religious freedom, Philadelphia served as a major port of entry and destination for immigrants throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the 1850s, three out often Philadelphians were foreign-born (Miller 2006), and during the peak period of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe between 1910 and 1914, the city was the third most im- portant immigrant port in the country (Welcoming Center for New Penn- sylvanians 2004a). Recently, however, Philadelphia has lagged behind other major cities in attracting immigrants. Across the country, the volume of immigration dwindled between the two World Wars and picked up again thereafter, espe- cially after the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act. Mostly from Latin Amer- ica and Asia, post-1965 immigrants have brought about major changes to the racial and ethnic dynamics of many urban centers. The foreign-born in Philadelphia, by contrast, remained relatively small during the 1970s and 1980s.

  • WWII and Identity in Italian-American Philadelphia
    WWII and Identity in Italian-American Philadelphia Mariah Casias History Senior Thesis Adviser: Alexander Kitroeff April 23, 2010 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing ethnic identity of the Italian-Americans of Philadelphia during the years leading into and during WWII. The hope of this study is to trace the evolution of the community's identity to see how Italian-Americans responded to the pressures of the war by strategically emphasizing aspects of their identity and by actively changing their group representation, especially through the press, cultural organizations and community leaders. Italian-Americans in Philadelphia entered the war with a dual identity that could simultaneously include loyalty to America along with loyalty to an Italian national identity. Individuals may have identified stronger nationally or culturally with one side, but the overall community identity was characterized by duality and hybridity that allowed for multiple variations of Italian-American identity. Yet irreconcilable conflict between the dual loyalties that Italian-American identity often incorporated did not happen until the U.S. entered the war against Italy in WWII. Through analysis of Philadelphia's Italian-Americans, it is clear that the war provoked the development of the identity of Italian-Americans in two different ways: it solidified their American national and political identity while limiting their Italian identity to cultural manifestations. It is this process that transformed the earlier dual Italian-American identity into a new cultural hybrid: an ethnic American identity that allowed for the realization of American identity without the loss of Italian cultural identity and helped move Italian-Americans into the mainstream of American society.

  • Italians of Northwest Philadelphia: Remembering a Community's Past
    Rural Roads, City Streets: Background Reading Italians in Pennsylvania Italians of Northwest Philadelphia: Remembering a Community’s Past Joan L. Saverino, “Italians of Northwest Philadelphia: Remembering a Community’s Past” in Germantown Crier, Vol. 50:2 (Fall 2000):44-70. Moving to Northwest Philadelphia from Virginia in 1988, I was captivated by [44] the differences in the built environment of the two places. White-frame or red- brick houses hold the people’s stories in Piedmont, Virginia. Here it is Wissahickon schist that echoes the history of the place, silently monitoring the succession of families who lived out their lives in the neighborhoods we now call home. Struck by the stolid grandeur of much of the architecture, I loved the schist when it sparkled on a sunny day and hated it when it deepened the gloominess on a rainy one. Since I have learned that countless Italian stonemasons laid much of the schist, it has taken on new significance for me. Perhaps because I have known immigrants like them, in my mind’s eye I can easily picture these men. Mostly they work silently and steadily, now and again breaking into song or robust laughter as they call to one another. Depending on the speaker, they switch from the dialect of their hometowns to broken English with their fellow workers, some Italian, some Irish or German. They sweat under their caps, carefully measuring and placing stone after stone according to plan. Tired and dirty at the end of the day, these transplanted say little now, but head home with a firm gait, returning to the familiar comfort of families and friends, with whom they have begun to build new homes in a strange land.
