Remembering Italian America: Memory, Migration, Identity examines
the life of Italians in the United States and the role of migration
and collective memory in the history of the construction of Italian
American identity. Employing the concept of communicative memory,
the authors explain the processes that gave shape to Italian
identity in America and the ways in which a symbolic identity
became concretized in Italian American oral histories. The text
explores the Italy migrants left behind, transatlantic networks,
the welcome received by the Italian newcomers, the socioeconomic
fabric of Italian America, and the singular worldview that grew out
of the immigrant experience. In exploring the role of memory in the
construction of Italian American identity, the book analyzes the
commonalities in the lives of immigrants, allowing the Italian
American experience to speak to the circumstances of newer
immigrant communities and allowing these new immigrant communities
to speak to the Italian migrant history. Looking at Italian
American culture from a multidisciplinary perspective, this volume
brings various theoretical perspectives to bear on "what, why, and
how" questions concerning the Italian American experience. This
book will be of interest to students of ethnic studies, immigration
studies, and American/transnational studies, as well as American
history.
