This is a portrait of an Italian-American enclave within the borough of the Bronx in New York City. Basing his work on years of research while living within the community, the author explores the historical background of Monte Carmelo and provides a demographic, social, and cultural analysis of the enclavement process. The community's inner workings are revealed through the perceptions and life history of its residents, its family organization and the structure and role of local associations. The author concludes by addressing certain common misconceptions about the community and aligns the study to larger questions relating to Americans of Italian descent.
