Staying Italian: Urban Change and Ethnic Life in Postwar Toronto and Philadelphia is a 2009 book by Jordan Stanger-Ross published by the University of Chicago Press. The book compares and contrasts Italian Americans in South Philadelphia to Italian Canadians in Little Italy, Toronto, covering the post-World War II period, and how the two communities define what it means to have an "Italian" identity. The book compares and contrasts the communities' employment patterns, religious practices, marriage practices, and choices of housing in the respective real estate markets. Toronto's Italian community became geographically dispersed while Philadelphia's Italian community remained geographically concentrated; Stanger-Ross explained that the territoriality was more important to Philadelphia's It

  • Staying Italian: Urban Change and Ethnic Life in Postwar Toronto and Philadelphia is a 2009 book by Jordan Stanger-Ross published by the University of Chicago Press. The book compares and contrasts Italian Americans in South Philadelphia to Italian Canadians in Little Italy, Toronto, covering the post-World War II period, and how the two communities define what it means to have an "Italian" identity. The book compares and contrasts the communities' employment patterns, religious practices, marriage practices, and choices of housing in the respective real estate markets. Toronto's Italian community became geographically dispersed while Philadelphia's Italian community remained geographically concentrated; Stanger-Ross explained that the territoriality was more important to Philadelphia's Italians compared to Toronto's, and that the lack of new Italian immigration to Philadelphia contributed to this difference. In Philadelphia African-Americans were settling the city, and Italian Philadelphians feared that their neighborhood would be invaded by black people. Philadelphia's Italians were less likely to move out of South Philadelphia, compared to Toronto's Italians in regards to their Little Italy. In Toronto Italian immigration had continued, and therefore many of the Italians were recent immigrants. Many of them moved to outlying areas of the city and the suburbs. (en)
