Abstract
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.
