Summary: "The Italian American school brings together a selection of articles - translated into Italian for the first time - by Leonard Covello (1887-1982), the first Italian-American principal of a high school in New York, intercultural pedagogist, sociologist of education and community leader of East Harlem. In his writings, skilfully translated by Carmen Petruzzi, an ethical inspiration of enormous importance stands out: the school appears as the fulcrum of social change and the cornerstone of the demolition of ethnic prejudice, an instrument of emancipation and a pillar of inclusion, solidarity and democracy . An unshakeable faith in the scholastic institution, his, which Covello strongly professed, conversing with students and political figures in order to radically change - andfrom the foundations - that symbolic imagery built on alienating prejudices that had damaged Italian Americans so much." - translation of back cover
