Obamania or Obamaphobia: Italians in a Post-Bush America
Italian American intellectuals and Italians in Italy might have given great support to Barack Obama's historic Presidential triumph but Italian American voters, at least those in New York, can hardly expect much in the way of thanks from the new tenants of the White House.

Obamania or Obamaphobia: Italians in a Post-Bush America
Jerry Krase
I was trying to figure out an appropriate image for this article from what I had handy that would adequately symbolize the relationship between iconic Italians and equally iconic Obamaniacs. I finally settled on this one. My sister-in-law had given me the Taoromina statue as a gift after her visit to Sicily and my wife wore the Obama button during the campaign after we stopped supporting John Edwards. I don't think we had any Edwards buttons even though we had sent him money. The lighting wasn't very good on my file cabinet, but as a fortuitous accident the image nicely symbolizes the hazy relationship between the President-elect Barack Obama and the future of Italian America's politics.

Addio, Mama Africa

Amara Laukhous. Nessuno scontro di civiltà. Gli immigrati musulmani mediatori
Incontro con Amara Laukhous a New York. Uno scambio di idee, più che un'intervista. Siamo convinti che il suo romanzo "Scontro di civiltà per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio", appena pubblicato in inglese, e la sua esperienza personale di immigrato, possano scuotere anche la realtà americana

Italian and American Politics: an Ocean of Differences
In the US the defeated McCain shows respect towards the man chosen by the American people and calls to be united under Obama's presidency. Italy, on the other hand, witnesses continuous fights and insults among its political leaders.

OBAMA
If you haven't noticed I haven't been around much lately. I have a good reason. I ended up finding a vision, and word of Change. I jumped on the bandwagon for Barack Obama right after the Democrat Convention in full force, and now I can smile and hope I too, made a difference.
