Italy's declaration of war on Britain in June 1940 had devastating
consequences for Italian immigrant families living in Scotland
signalling their traumatic construction as the 'enemy other'.
Through an analysis of personal testimonies and previously
unpublished archival material, this book takes a case study of a
long-established immigrant group and explores how notions of
belonging and citizenship are undermined at a time of war. Overall,
this book considers how wartime events affected the construction or
Italian identity in Britain. It makes a groundbreaking and original
contribution to the social and cultural history of Britain during
World War Two as well as the wider literature on war, memory and
ethnicity. It will appeal to scholars and students of British and
Scottish cultural and social history and the history of World War
II. -- .
