    The mass lynching of Italians in 1891 New Orleans: Marking Italians as racially “Dago”
    (2013) Borkowski, Nicholas; Dorsey, Bruce; Azfar, Farid
    This paper contextualizes the 1891 mass lynching of Italians in New Orleans as a moment in which Italians in New Orleans are marked as racially “Dago.” This paper draws from historical scholarship on race and nativism to explore how the lynching manifested racial, and to a smaller degree nativist, prejudice towards Italians from everyday mindsets in New Orleans at the time.
