Zucchi (history, McGill U.) tells the story of children uprooted from villages in central and southern Italy to play music on the streets of European and North American cities. He says that despite the well publicized cases of exploitation and cruelty, their lives were like that of other indentured apprentices working off their passage to a new country. He also considers their place in the emerging leisure industry. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
