SINATRA: History, Identity, and Italian American Culture
Frank Sinatra's death in 1998 spawned a series of books focusing on his remarkable career, which took him from the streets of Hoboken, N.J., to the pinnacle of fame. To the sons and daughters of millions of Italian immigrants, Sinatra's inimitable style epitomized what it meant to be Italian-American in the middle and late 20th century. This collection of essays, written by various historians and critics, takes an extended look at Sinatra through the lens of Italian-American culture. Join editor Stanislao Pugliesi, Associate Professor of History at Hofstra, for a discussion of this acclaimed collection. Refreshments will be served.
