The Kingmakers of Fresh Pond Road
View through CrossRef
This work provides an analysis of ethnic politics in the context of Italian American politics by focusing on the political activities and the rise and fall of one group of post–World War II Italian citizens who immigrated to New York City between the 1950s and the 1970s. For a few decades until the 2010s, these people were politically active in local and state politics in the area of the NYS 15th senatorial district, Queens County, and instrumental in the twenty-year career of Italian American New York State Senator Serphin Maltese. We define these individuals dual or binational ethnic-political brokers who utilize resources as Italian American community leaders in order to influence both American politics and Italian politics.
