What you will find in Echoes of Growing up Italian are accounts of
the immigrant experience as told through the eyes of women. The
Italian diaspora is one of the most significant of the 20th
century, with a far-reaching impact in the Americas, Australia and
Northern Europe. The Italian immigration narrative is a universal
one. The stories in this book of the Italian woman in North America
and how she learned to survive as she lived with two cultures in
her heart and home. This collection provides the reader with a
candid glimpse into the lives of sixteen women from across North
America: some were born and raised in Italy while some have only
been there on holidays; some are mothers and grandmothers and some
are single; some only know a few words of Italian, while others are
fluent, but we all have a discerning perspective on what it means
to live with two cultures.
