Local Interest- Portuguese History (See entire list )
Through a Portagee Gate (Portuguese in America Series)
Charles Reis Felix
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth © Oct. 2004
$20.00 paperback
|
|
Through a Portagee Gate gives a remarkably honest self-portrait of growing up Portuguese in New Bedford and is also an endearing
tribute to the author's father, a Portuguese immigrant cobbler who came to America in 1915.
The narrative reveals a deep desire to escape the confines of the immigrant, ethnic world, while also acknowledging
a keen nostalgia about one's past, a need to remember and pay tribute to those who came before us.
