This book focuses on the transmission of ethnic identity across
three generations of Italian-Australians, specifically
Italian-Australians of Calabrian descent in the Adelaide region of
Australia. Simone Marino analyzes ethnographic data collected over
a three-year period to consider individual, familial and community
cultural practices, as well as societal influences on ethnic
identity transmission, in order to present generational differences
in the understandings of Italian-Australian identity. Among other
factors, the role of community events, community networks, and
cultural practices associated with being Italian-Australian are
examined. The transmission of ethnic identity is analysed through
the lens of sociological theories, including Sayad's concept of
double absence and Bourdieu's ideas of habitus and cultural
capital, and is considered at the macro, meso, and micro spheres of
social life. Ultimately, Marino's study reveals clear generational
differences amongst Italian-Australians: the first generation,
those who arrived from Italy, manifest a condition of feeling
absent, the second generation present a condition of
'in-between-ness', between the world of their immigrant parents and
that of Australians, and the third generation experience a sense of
ethnic revival.
