The early twentieth century was marked by massive migration of
southern Europeans to the United States. "Transatlantic Subjects"
views this diaspora through the lens of Greek migrant life to
reveal the emergence of transnational forms of subjectivity.
According to Ioanna Laliotou, cultural institutions and practices
played an important role in the formation of migrant
subjectivities. Reconstructing the cultural history of migration,
her book points out the relationship between subjectivity formation
and cultural practices and performances, such as publishing,
reading, acting, storytelling, consuming, imitating, parading, and
traveling. "Transatlantic Subjects" then locates the development of
these practices within key sites and institutions of cultural
formation, such as migrant and fraternal associations, educational
institutions, state agencies and nongovernmental organizations,
mental institutions, coffee shops, the church, steamship companies,
banks, migration services, and chambers of commerce.
Ultimately, Laliotou explores the complex and situational
entanglements of migrancy, cultural nationalism, and the politics
of self. Reading against the grain of hegemonic narratives of
cultural and migration histories, she reveals how migrancy produced
distinctive forms of sociality during the first half of the
twentieth century.
