There Were No Safety Nets, Part 3: Edmonton’s Italian Community, 1949 to the Present

Adriana A. Davies

People September 13, 2016

"In this period, Italian immigrants were still viewed as a 'visible minority' and many saw them as 'enemy aliens' or criminals based on American stereotypes of Mafia crime families. Government policies, however, began to change traditional views that nurtured the distinction between 'them' (the immigrant, the outsider) and 'us'."
