Italy and the Potato: A History, 1550-2000
Little has been written about the potato's Italian history. This book examines the important role it has played in Italy's social, cultural and economic history.
Undermining Race
Undermining Race rewrites the history of race, immigration, and labor in the copper industry in Arizona. The book focuses on the case of Italian immigrants in their relationships with Anglo, Mexican, and Spanish miners (and at times with blacks, Asian Americans, and Native Americans), requiring a reinterpretation of the way race was formed and figured across place and time. Phylis Martinelli argues that the case of Italians in Arizona provides insight into “in between” racial and ethnic categories, demonstrating that the categorizing of Italians varied from camp to camp depending on local conditions—such as management practices in structuring labor markets and workers’ housing, and t...
On Persecution, Identity, and Activism
Shows the reader how Italian-American identity has evolved though the years, and that there is still no consensus on its definition. This book addresses modern activism as well as the anti-defamation campaign and the Columbus Day controversy.
The Cultures of Italian Migration
The Cultures of Italian Migration allows the adjective "Italian" to qualify people's movements along diverse trajectories and temporal dimensions. Discussions on migrations to and from Italy meet in that discursive space where critical concepts like"home," "identity," "subjectivity," and "otherness" eschew stereotyping. This volume demonstrates that interpretations of old migrations are necessary in order to talk about contemporary Italy. New migrations trace new non linear paths in the definitionof a multicultural Italy whose roots are unmistakably present throughout the centuries. Some of these essays concentrate on topics that are historically long-term, such as emigration from Italy to the Americas and southern Pacific Ocean. Others focus on the more contemporary phenomena of immigration to Italy from other parts of the world, including Africa. This collection ultimately offers an invitation to seek out new and different modes of analyzing the migratory act.
Education Abroad and the Undergraduate Experience
Co-published with This volume focuses on two questions. First, how can education abroad be embedded into undergraduate education so that students experience it as an integral component of their education and something they help shape, rather than as time away from their education and as a commodity to be consumed? Second, how can colleges and universities maximize the educational value of education abroad by forging stronger connections between it and other undergraduate experiences? The volume argues that learning abroad be positioned within the work of the larger institution and students’ overall education.Organized within three sections, this volume makes the case that learning abroad m...

I musei sono luoghi in cui si possono conoscere storie e cose capaci di suscitare emozioni: ogni museo ha la sua storia e la sua ragion d'essere.

Gli studi sull'emigrazione italiana rappresentano, nel quadro della storiografia sull'Italia post-unitaria, un tema di particolare interesse, che si è arricchito, nel corso d...
