Italians Vs. Themselves: the Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago
James Scalzitti ILP for H4 Competence Summer - Fall, 2014 Italians vs. Themselves: The Rocky Path to Political Empowerment in Metropolitan Chicago Italian Americans have been part of Chicago since before it was incorporated as a city, and for at least the past half century there have been Italian Americans throughout the ranks of government in the city and its suburbs. While there has been a significant Italian presence in the Chicago area for much of its history — with numerous neighborhoods and suburbs identified as “Italian;” dozens of festivals celebrating the ancestral homes of these immigrants; and certainly the annual Columbus Day Parade, during which politicians of all backgrounds jostle for position at the front of the line of march — the same ethnic pride that gives the metropolitan area a robust Italian cultural flavor hasn’t translated into commensurate political power. My task for this project, defined by the competency requirements, was to analyze the power relations between at least two racial, social or cultural groups in the United States. The main group that I wanted to focus on is the Chicago-area Italian-American community. By employing both theoretical and qualitative research, I explored how they have risen to positions of political power over the last century, and what obstacles they have encountered along the way. I also endeavored to uncover their current state of political influence and what that can tell us about their political future in the metropolitan area. That being decided, I still needed to identify that “other” group to which I would compare and contrast the Italian-American community. -

Support Comprehensive Sanctions Against South Africa
SUPPORT COMPREHENSIVE SANCTIONS AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA Comprehensive Sanctions are a necessary response to the continuing violent repression of the black majority and imprisonment of trade union leaders by South Africa's apartheid government. In October of 1986, the U.S. Congress enacted a limited sanctions law which represented an important step towards ending U.S. support for the apartheid government and economy. However, the law's provisions are limited and U.S. companies and the Reagan Administration have exploited the loopholes in the current law. Stronger legislation was therefore introduced in Congress in early 1987 which mandates total disinvestment of all U.S. companies within six months of passage of the bill, and includes stronger sections of the present sanctions law. The proposed legislation will ban virtually all trade with South Africa and provide penalties against those companies who violate the trade ban . The proposed le~slation is H. R. 1580 I S. 2378 . H. R. 1580 is sponsored by Congressman Ronald Dellums and co-spsonsored by more than 100 Congresspersons. S. 2378 is sponsored by Senators Alan Cranston and Ted Kennedy. These bills are endorsed by many U.S. unions and the AFL-CIO. Comprehensive Sanctions and disinvestment are strongly supported by South Africa's trade unions. The Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), the country's largest labor federation, continues its plea for the U.S. to take action against the apartheid regime which bans their strikes, jails their leaders, and bars their protests. ACTION NEEDED NOW! The Cranston/Kennedy bill, S. 2378, needs additional co-sponsors immediately! Contact Senator Alan Dixon to urge him to co-sponsor. -
