商品簡介
The lessons that former history teacher Patricia J. Marino learned from her Sicilian-American father, Detective Alexander Francis Marino, are universal and applicable to our current American landscape: "Laws don't always equal right," "Call out hypocrisy," and "Keep your commitments," among others. In this unique memoir-through-a-larger-American-historical-lens, with relatable appeal to anyone whose family came to America from elsewhere (i.e., almost all of us), the author takes a loving yet clear-eyed look at what we're doing wrong in light of the original promise of the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, and how we can set things right so as to-in the words of Langston Hughes-"let America be America again." Includes an invitation to readers to participate in "revisioning a new America."
