BackgroundSources used by the book include census data,[9] church registers, ethnic presses,[5] government studies, marriage records,[9] oral histories,[5] publications of Catholic parishes,[9] and real estate records;[5] the real estate records included mortgage records. The book also used secondary literature as sourcing.[9] Contents{{expand section|date=July 2015}}The first chapter discusses the differences between the historical courses of Toronto and Philadelphia as a whole, while the other chapters discuss South Philadelphia and Little Italy in particular.[2] One of the chapters discusses religion. Caroline Waldron Merithew of the University of Dayton stated that in this chapter "the comparative North American framework's purpose and possibility shine" and that the chapter is the book's "most vital contribution to the understanding of Italian ethnicity".[6] The book's illustrations include graphs, maps, and photographs.[6] Stanger-Ross intentionally avoided discussing assimilation in the book. Maria C. Lizzi of the University of Albany argued that the book should have discussed assimilation,[10] while John J. Bukowczyk of Wayne State University stated that the omission was "an understandable limitation".[11] Reception{{expand section|date=July 2015}}Lizzi stated that the book was "a step forward for ethnic historians of the post-war period", but that it is "impeded" by several issues, with the most significant being the omission of race relations such as Italian-American and African-American relations in Philadelphia.[12] Lizzi argued that the lack of discussion of issues regarding assimilation and, to a lesser extent, class status were problematic.[13] Bukowczyk stated that scholars from the United States "will find this book an interesting and worthwhile read."[11] He stated that the relations of blacks and whites in Philadelphia is a "relatively ignored elephant in the room" even though Stanger-Ross stated that such dynamics were present in Philadelphia but not in Toronto.[4] William Michelson of the University of Toronto stated that the book is "a rich examination of the persistence of and variations in Italian culture in North American cities-and a fascinating read."[14] He suggested that the book could have added more macro knowledge.[14] Carmela Patrias of Brock University stated that this book was "fruitful" research.[5] Merithew stated that the book "adds crucial geographic and chronological breadth to scholarship on Italian immigration."[6] She argued that the book should have better explained its photographs and explained how racism impacted demography of the Italians in Philadelphia as urban decay occurred.[6] Roberto Perin of York University wrote that "this book fills an important void in the field of North American immigration and ethnicity where publications on the post-war period are few and far between."[8] See also
