A Sicilian in East Harlem is the personal memoir of Dr. Salvatore Mondello, Professor Emeritus of History, Rochester Institute of Technology. This work offers a unique perspective on Sicilian life and culture in East Harlem and makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of this immigrant group. Reviews of A Sicilian in East Harlem are highly favorable. Salvatore LaGumina, Professor Nausau Community College writes: "It is a memoir that is very worthy of publication because it articulates a transitional way of life that is now largely vanished.." Lucian J. Iorizzo, Professor, State University of New York Oswego writes: "Salvatore Mondello's academic achievements are indicative of his dedication to scholarship and his desire to bring to light knowledge that has been hidden far too long. He paints a picture of Sicilians that needs to be made public."
