It's unclear what "African-American", "Swiss-Italian" and "German-Italian" have to do with this. In any event Knowledge uses common phrases.

Carlo Levi was not at all a communist. He came from a socialist tradition, which in Italy is not the same as communism -- his uncle was a well-known member of the established socialist party. In "Cristo si e' fermato ad Eboli" he is in fact critical of the communist perspective on the question of
