About this book

This edited collection explores the notion of Italianness - or Italianità – through migration history. It focuses on the interaction between Italians circulating around the world, and their relationship with Italy from a political and cultural perspective. Answering the important question of how migration affects Italianness, the authors explore the ways in which migrants retained their Italian culture, customs and practices during and after their travels. Spanning a long period from the Risorgimento up until the 1960s, the book sheds light on the institutions and social structures that contributed to the construction of cultural links between Italian migrants and their country of origin. Not only broad in its temporal scope, the volume covers a wide geographic area, examining the lives of Italian migrants in North America, South America, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Bringing together a wealth of research on Italians, alongside the different migratory routes takenby these men and women, this book provides new insights into Italian culture and seeks to strengthen our understanding of Italian migration history.

Reviews

“By combining political and social analysis with historiographical debate from the last few decades, this volume manages to account for the complexity of Italian migratory phenomena and shows how they proceed in waves, repeating themselves regularly over the last three centuries.”

—Matteo Sanfilippo, University of Tuscia, Italy and Coordinator of Studi Emigrazione

“This ensemble of essays vividly demonstrates how the rigorous study of the politics, economics, and cultures of Italian emigration deepens our general understanding of migrant realities and imaginaries. The rich diversity of historical periods and geographic locations covered herein is a testament to the negotiated creation of a transnational, transcultural, and varied sense of Italianness forged in the diaspora.”

—Joseph Sciorra, Queens College, City University of New York, USA, and Editorial Director of Italian American Review
