Dixie's Italians: Sicilians, Race, and Citizenship in the Jim Crow Gulf South
Jessica Barbata Jackson
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, tens of thousands of Southern Italians and Sicilians emigrated to the American Gulf South. Jessica Barbata Jackson shows that these newcomers used their undefined status to become racially transient, moving among and between racial groups as both “white southerners” and “people of color”.
