Ragusa’s memoir is situated at the crossroads of two Harlem communities

Fred
Gardaphé, From Wiseguys to Wise
Men: The Gangster and Italian American Masculinities- $22.00 (List price
$33.00), (Paperback).
Since the gangster’s
earliest appearance in American cinema, there has been regular association
between the gangster figure and the Italian/American male. Perhaps no literary or cinematic
figure has had such a profound effect on the development of an ethnic stereotype. This book explores the gangster as
embodying the traits that the dominant American culture represses and
explains why Americans are so obsessed with it.
