This book is a study of biographies and autobiographies of Italian
Australians. It looks at full-length life-writing texts, including
accounts of the Italian Australian experience of war-time
internment, success stories, narratives of trauma and grievance and
life narratives as a form of ethnography. There is a variable zoom
focus, ranging from a whole chapter devoted to a single text, to
surveys of a dozen or more texts in each of four chapters. A final
overview maps out a chronology and typology of Italian Australian
life writing relating it to immigrant life writing generally. Given
its topic, the book has a tightly integrated double analytical
focus. On the one hand, it studies the textual strategies deployed
by the writers, and, on the other hand, it explores the
experiential dimensions highlighted by the texts.
