The Transplants

Exploring the identity of Italian Americans, the author addresses common misconceptions held by Italians about their American counterparts. The narrative delves into cultural differences, such as language, literature, and culinary practices, highlighting the unique blend of traditions that characterize the Italian American experience. The author argues that these individuals are not merely a fusion of Italian and American cultures but rather Italians who have become disconnected from their roots while navigating life in America.
