Product Information
John Gennari sets out on a quest to find "tutti," the everythingness that sits on the edge--now smooth, now serrated--between Italian America and African America. "Tutti," a black friend of his says, "the unshakeable belief in beauty, in overflow, in everythingness, the bursting, indelible beauty in a world where there is so much suffering and wounding and pain . . . ." Frank Sinatra's legend has meanwhile grown through the idolatry of a new hip-hop generation, we see octogenarian Tony Bennett (Anthony Dominick Benedetto) undertaking concert tours with 20-something Lady Gag (Stefani Angelina Germanotta) while Mario Batali continues to imperialize and monetize Italian cuisine, and Rick Pitino and other Italian American coaches shape championship rounds of college basketball. The essential argument about American culture, Gennari persuasively insists, is the argument about race--specifically, whether blackness, as supporters of jazz exhorted, is an essential ingredient of American cultural reality, or whether, as white nativists warned, going back to the 1920s, it is a dangerous threat to national identity, a force of cultural degeneracy. By the early '60s, Motown had set up cross-racialism by modeling the figure of the Italian pop ballad singer (and Marvin Gaye cut four ballads-and-standards Motown albums, his touchstones being Nat King Cole but also Sinatra and Perry Como). Gennari deftly sketches the interweavings of Italian and African American popular music from jazz to doo wop, soul to hip hop, including the surprising history of Italians in New Orleans music early in the 20th century. Then there's Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, evoking the racism of Howard Beach and Bensonhurst, but showcasing the untarnished Brooklyn neighborhoods of Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. New York and New Jersey and New Haven are at the center of this remarkable book about the intermingling, mergers, contact zones of African America and Italian America, a big space where territorial masculinity vibrates with robust matriarchal energy; where traditions of singing, dancing, and eating embrace the funky vitality and unembarrassed pleasures of the body; where ear-and-eye intensive sensibilities mark extroverted, charismatic presentations of the public self; a history , complicated to be sure, of collaboration, intimacy, hostility, and distancing. Gennari writes with passion, drawing on black and Italian cultural history, literature, food TV, performance art, and cultural criticism to explore the alterations of pain and pleasure, suffering and joy, deprivation and abundance which have produced so much music, cuisine, athletic prowess, and cinema--full of flavor and soulfulness intrinsic to the nation's spirit and psychic health.

Reviews
In this compelling, original book, Gennari stylishly rethinks everything from racial and ethnic boundaries to the oeuvres of virtuosi as different as Spike Lee and Rollie Massimino. With wit, compassion, and a sharp eye for what matters most, he manages to take seriously the most sentimental and wishful renditions of identity while also pushing past them in to edgier, harder-minded territory., There is no other than Gennari--a huge-hearted scholar of voracious curiosity and impeccable taste--to productively mine what happens when black and Italian meet. He sees the third thing those two galaxies of history and self-expression create at the crossroads. Cooking and eating, sports, film, and, of course, music are where the most potent and telling cultural action is, where we go to experience the true beauty and meaning of life in a world where we may know ourselves deeply along cultural lines but then find so much more at the recombinant intersection. Flavor and Soul is brilliant, encyclopedic scholarship that also accomplishes the rare work of speaking directly to and from the heart. This is a passionate treasure book of scholarship and ultimately a handbook for living a rich, surprising, culturally-guided life., An eloquent book about Italian Americans and race that carves out new space in our increasingly polarized national debate about whiteness and racial identity. . . .No scholar or writer has ever explored the multiple zones of contact between these two groups in the world of arts and the imagination the way Gennari does. . . A powerful work of healing and imaginative reconciliation. . . Flavor and Soul is a landmark in both cultural studies and in the exploration of race in the United States., There is no other than Gennari--a huge-hearted scholar of voracious curiosity and impeccable taste--to productively mine what happens when black and Italian meet.

Cooking and eating, sports, film, and, of course, music are where the most potent and telling cultural action is, where we go to experience the true beauty and meaning of life in a world where we may know ourselves deeply along cultural lines but then find so much more at the recombinant intersection. Flavor and Soul is brilliant, encyclopedic scholarship that also accomplishments the rare work of speaking directly to and from the heart. This is a passionate treasure book of scholarship and ultimately a handbook for living a rich, surprising, culturally-guided life., In his new book, Flavor and Soul: Italian America at Its African American Edge , University of New Hampshire professor John Gennari explores the black/Italian interactions in American cultural history to provide some valid and valuable insights into the development of these two American subcultures. Gennari examines the presence and contributions of both groups to music, food, film, and sports, and believes 'strongly that it is in literature, the arts, and what I am calling expressive culture that the most meaningful, searching, creative, and finally consequential molding of our racial and ethnic lives take place.', In this compelling, original book, Gennari ?stylishly rethinks everything from racial and ?ethnic boundaries to the oeuvres of virtuosi as different as Spike Lee and Rollie Massimino. With wit, compassion, and a sharp eye for what matters most, he manages to take seriously the most sentimental and wishful renditions of identity while also pushing past them in? to edgier, harder-minded territory., A thoroughly enlightening cultural perspective and retrospective on the mythical and well-known burgeoning effects of Italian American and African-American cultural icons and identity on America. . . . Gennari succeeds in making clear how inevitable and beautiful, even if oft times difficult and sometimes violent, the mutual understanding and appreciating of races and cultures is when each benefits and supports the other while always recognizing, preserving, and nurturing what is good., In this thought-provoking, academic, yet often lively study, Gennari explores the intersections between African-American and Italian-American culture. . . . Whether he's discussing the relationship between Italian-American basketball coaches and black players or the importance of food to both cultures, Gennari shows that despite tensions between them, black and Italian-Americans have much in common and understand one another better than many outsiders realize., Flavor and Soul is so damn good. The reader--whether passingly curious or utterly invested--is going to have a ball and come out wiser, better informed, and more determined to do the right thing, too. Gennari's purpose is to identify, unpack, meditate upon, reenact and reinflect that dimension of Italian America created in tension with, and, especially, in mutual emulation of, African America. After all we're talking about Sinatra and Miles, The Godfather and '70s blaxploitation, the cult of food TV, Mookie and Pino then Travolta and Jackson, Calipari and his latest All-African American crew vs. Izzo and basketball's la via vecchia , and hip-hoppers galore. Why is this approach such a revelation if so much of it is so darn obvious? American writers and intellectuals, with a few quiet exceptions, have paid attention at best only to each other's accounts of these matters rather than to the arts, the artists, and their aficionadas, who really do have different stories--especially Gennari's story--to tell., Gennari packs more into a paragraph than most scholars do into pages and delivers that knowledge in an ear-rewarding style--smooth, riffy, without all the high-falutin' jargon we've come to expect from academics. This book connects the academy to the streets in ways that few cultural studies monographs can., Flavor and Soul is so damn good.

Highly recommended., In this compelling, original book, Gennari ?stylishly rethinks everything from racial and ?ethnic boundaries to the oeuvres of virtuosi as different as Spike Lee and Rollie Massimino.
