Between 1880 and 1914, more than 4 million Italians immigrated to the United States. These curations follow Italian immigrants as they became Italian Americans, the stereotypes that followed them, the Irish diaspora in America, and how migration shaped identity during the Harlem Renaissance.
The Italian diaspora in America began to increase during the 1880s, when more than twice as many Italians immigrated than had in the five previous decades combined; from 1880 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914, more than 4 million Italians immigrated to the United States.
Italian Americans are Americans with full or partial Italian ancestry, with the largest concentrations in the urban Northeast. The path follows how Italian immigrants in New York built community and political influence, and how discrimination and assimilation shaped their sense of identity.
The experience of the Irish diaspora in America concerns Americans with full or partial Irish ancestry or citizenship. Irish immigration had complex causes, and many Irish people sought a better life elsewhere as European colonies in the Americas offered destinations for emigration.
The Harlem Renaissance included new African-American cultural expression across other urban areas in the Northeastern United States and the Midwestern United States. Harlem was the final destination of the largest number of those who migrated north.
