Per gli italiani in Canada possiamo identificare un paio di particolarità insite nell'esperienza dei nostri amici al Nord. Innanzitutto, come sostiene la nostra collega Daniela Sanzone nel suo saggio che apre questo volume, è "solo dopo il 1951 che il Canada è divenuto una destinazione privilegiata per l'immigrazione di massa" (3) anche se si constata che intorno al 1900 c'erano già più di 10, 000 italiani. Una seconda specificità riguarda il ...

There exists still ... the notion that [Italian Americans] continue to be one of the very few ethnic groups as targets of microaggressions if not outright discrimination with no consequences to those who engage in such acts.... It is both an internal and external challenge, and in both cases I am convinced that education is the best way we can (1) better inform ourselves of our own history in the United States, and (2) enlighten the non-Italia...

. . . A strong sense of commonality is that necessary ingredient for the population to cohere and this to progress: for the study of all things Italian/American to become part and parcel of the dominant culture, as it is for other United States hyphenated groups.All of this is dependent on an Italian/American commitment (impegno) to the appreciation of our culture. This entails an active participation in cultural activities of all sorts, it re...

Il volume approfondisce alcuni esempi di un fenomeno culturale statunitense che ha dei fortissimi legami con la cultura italiana: ciò che possiamo definire "letteratura italiana" negli Stati Uniti, ossia l'insieme delle opere composte in lingua italiana da scrittori che vivono la loro quotidianità oltreoceano. Sono cinque, in particolare, gli autori di cui si discute nel testo, rappresentativi di questa lunga tradizione: Joseph Tusiani, Alfred...

Passati ormai dieci anni dal nostro primo incontro ad Erice e sei dalla nascita della Fondazione del Mediterranean Center for International Studies (MCIS), questa nuova raccolta di saggi presentati al convegno del 2017, continua il dialogo tra studiosi che operano in tre continenti diversi e che a maggio da cinque anni si confrontano su argomenti e su temi relativi a qualsiasi aspetto della cultura mediterranea.-dalla prefazione

Using semiotics as a theoretical foundation, this book reexamines the notion of the hyphenate writer. It argues for an analogous set of categories no longer chronologically or generationally based, but cognitively based, so that the traditionally considered "first-stage" or first-generation hyphenate writer now figures as an "expressive" writer who is not necessarily part of the immigrant or first American-born generations. He or she may actua...

This volume also underscores our desire-and dare we s...

This book is divided into three sections. The first section deals with the general situation of Italian/American literature and its reception both in the United States and in Italy. It also discusses other social and cultural issues that pertain to Italian Americana.

The Cultures of Italian Migration allows the adjective "Italian" to qualify people's movements along diverse trajectories and temporal dimensions. Discussions on migrations to and from Italy meet in that discursive space where critical concepts like "home, " "identity, " "subjectivity, " and "otherness" eschew stereotyping. This volume demonstrates that interpretations of old migrations are necessary in order to talk about contemporary Italy. ...

Literary Nonfiction. Film Studies. Remarkable for the variety and sophistication of the approaches that it brings to its subject matter, SCREENING ETHNICITY makes a powerful argument for the validity, indeed the necessity, of Italian American cinema as an object of study. By including the concepts of race, gender, and social class along with the more obvious themes of identity and ethnicity, this collection sheds new light on the careers of Fr...
