An Extreme Prejudice portrays Italian immigrants as victims of their own pursuit of happiness. Encouraged to come to Louisiana to increase the white population, most soon found themselves the victims of racial prejudice and deadly violence. This book chronicles the international, national, and local politics involved with our melting-pot nation becoming more tolerant of ethnic differences. In the end, when crimes against Italians proved too daunting, white citizens actively and publicly came to their aid. The Italian work ethic and strong desire to become part of the American dream is now a part of the rich history of New Orleans and Louisiana.
