Salamone, a professor of anthropology, believes that each ethnic community must adapt to the social and cultural circumstances in which it finds itself. Thus, while sharing much with other Italian-American communities, the Italians of Rochester were also different in significant ways because of the history, culture, and societyincluding other ethnic groupsto which they adapted. This photo-book is a small record of the city of Rochester and its Italian community, showing mainly the happy times in the city and of the community, for the joys always trumped the problems. The author wishes to thank Jesse Gimbel for his professional help with the photos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Salamone's fascinating ethnography, Viewing an American Ethnic Community: Rochester, New York Italians in Photographs, thoroughly and thoughtfully describes this Italian-American community in upstate New York. He integrates illuminating interviews with community members of different generations, comprehensive historical and field research with his own biographical connections and experiences culminating in an engaging and necessary piece of scholarship.
