Guido Culture and Italian American Youth

Author: Donald Tricarico
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030032930
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332

Book Description
From Saturday Night Fever to Jersey Shore, Italian American youth in New York City have appropriated—and been appropriated by—popular American culture. Here, Donald Tricarico investigates how Italian ethnicity has been used to fashion Guido as a distinct youth style that signals inclusion in popular American culture and, simultaneously, the making of a new ethnic subject. Emerging from a wave of Italian immigration after World War II in outer borough neighborhoods such as Bensonhurst, the story of the Guido is an Italian American story, symbolizing the negotiation of a negatively privileged ethnicity within American society. Tricarico takes up questions about the definition of Guido, the role of disco, and the identity politics of Jersey Shore in order to reconsider the significance of Guido for the study of Italian American ethnicity.

Acker designed the book with 32 gridded pages, 32 lined pages and 64 blank pages so you have both structured and free-form options for developing your letterforms. Practice makes perfect! Seb Goreywas born in 1976 in Paris, France. He is currently based in New York City and works as an artist and designer.

His traditional yet figurative work is influenced by street culture and depicts a post-apocalyptic environment. Seb Gorey is the designer behind the menswear label Woolf NYC.
