Abstract: This volume brings together new scholarship on the cultural history of consumption, immigration, and ethnic marketing, focusing on the case of an ethnic group whose material culture and lifestyles has profoundly fascinated, disturbed, and influenced American culture: Italian Americans. The purpose of this introduction and the fourteen essays in the volume is to reread Italian American history in the light of consumer culture, in the process producing an analytical framework to reflect on the ways ethnic and racial groups have shaped their collective identities and negotiated their place in the consumers' emporium and marketplace of difference that is the global United States.
