Since its publication in 1974, Blood of My Blood has become the most highly esteemed book on the subject. It is also rare in that it has been a popular best-seller and is widely used as a college text.
"With greater impact than any other non-fiction book on the subject has achieved to date, it weaves together the history, sociology, and psychology of first-, second- and third-generation Italian Americans. Its data is presented with scholarly precision; yet the author's style, which he peppers with autobiographical tidbits, makes it immensely readable." -- The New York Times.
