Literary Nonfiction. This volume collects the essays presented at
The Hyphenate Writer and the Legacy of Exile colloquium, held in
February, 2008. This colloquium was born from a discussion that has
been ongoing for over twenty years on the themes of exile and
immigrant writing, hyphenation, cultural boundaries, the breaking
of such boundaries, and bilingualism. The colloquium was divided
into three parts: Anthony Julian Tamburri and Peter Carravetta
examined the topic from an Italian American perspective; Jeffrey
Librett and Debra Cordeiro-Rosa wrote on the Jewish diaspora;
William Deaver and Humberto Lopez wrote about Cuban writers in the
United States; and Gustavo Perez Firmat closes the volume with his
essay on living and growing old bilingually.
The essays in this collection constitute a partial representation
of what was presented at the 39th annual conference of the American
Italian Historical Association held in 2006.
Cultural Writing. The three essays in this volume originate from a
symposium held at Florida Atlantic University, dedicated to the
integration of the Advanced Placement exam within the teaching of
Italian language and culture. Special emphasis was placed upon
Italian-American culture, as shown in the essays included in
INTRODUCING ITALIAN AMERICANA: "From the Old Country to the Old
Neighborhood: Creating Italian American Literature," by Fred
Gardaphe, State University of New York at Stony Brook; "From Italy
to the New World: Italian Writers in the United States," by Paolo A
Giordano, University of Central Florida; and "Italian Americans and
the Movies," by Anthony Julian Tamburri, Queens College/CUNY. Each
essay is offered in both English and Italian.
