This book provides a concise and innovative history of Italian
migration to Australia over the past 150 years. It focuses on
crucial aspects of the migratory experience, including work and
socio-economic mobility, disorientation and reorientation, gender
and sexual identities, racism, sexism, family life, aged care,
language, religion, politics, and ethnic media. The history of
Italians in Australia is re-framed through key theoretical
concepts, including transculturation, transnationalism,
decoloniality, and intersectionality. This book challenges common
assumptions about the Italian-Australian community, including the
idea that migrants are 'stuck' in the past, and the tendency to
assess migrants' worth according to their socio-economic success
and their alleged contribution to the Nation. It focuses instead on
the complex, intense, inventive, dynamic, and resilient strategies
developed by migrants within complex transcultural and
transnational contexts. In doing so, this book provides a new way
of rethinking and remembering the history of Italians in Australia.
