This second volume of New Italian Migrations to the United States
explores the evolution of art and cultural expressions created by
and about Italian immigrants and their descendants since 1945. The
essays range from an Italian-language radio program that broadcast
intimate messages from family members in Italy to the role of
immigrant cookbook writers in crafting a fashionable Italian food
culture. Other works look at how exoticized actresses like Sophia
Loren and Pier Angeli helped shape a glamorous Italian style out of
images of desperate postwar poverty; overlooked forms of brain
drain; the connections between countries old and new in the works
of Michigan self-taught artist Silvio Barile; and folk revival
performer Alessandra Belloni's reinterpretation of tarantella dance
and music for Italian American women. In the afterword, Anthony
Julian Tamburri discusses the nomenclature ascribed to Italian
American creative writers living in Italy and the United States.
Contributors: John Allan Cicala, Simone Cinotto, Teresa Fiore,
Incoronata (Nadia) Inserra, Laura E. Ruberto, Joseph Sciorra, and
Anthony Julian Tamburri.
