Pillars of Lace
Pillars of Lace is an eclectic collection of the finest writing by Italian-Canadian women. It is the first anthology of its kind in Canada. This anthology showcases excerpts of a variety of writing styles: poetry, short stories, film scripts, novels, personal memoirs, and journalism. Pillars of Lace is the perfect starting point for an introduction to and a taste of Italian-Canadian women writers. The material previously published or written in French or Italian has been translated into English. Many established, award-winning writers are represented: Maris Ardizzi, Angela Baldassarre, Carole David, Fiorells De Luca Calce, Isabella Colalillo-Katz, Mary di Michele, Caterina Edwards, Anna Foschi, Darlene Madott, Mary Melfi, Gianna Patriarca, Panny Petrone, Liliane Welch, Bianca Zagolin, Carmen Laurenza-Ziolkowski, and other recently and unpublished writers.
The Camp
The camp is nothing if not diverse: in kind, scope, and particularity; in sociological and juridical configuration; in texture, iconography, and political import. Adjectives of camp specificity embrace a spectrum from extermination and concentration, to detention, migration, deportation, and refugee camps. And while the geographic range covered by contributors is hardly global, it is broad: Chile, Rwanda, Canada, the US, Central Europe, Morocco, Algeria, South Africa, France and Spain. And yet—is to so characterize the camp to run the risk of diffusing what in origin is a concentration into a paratactical series of “identity particularisms”? While The Camp does not seek to antithetical...

Bridging the Ocean
La pubblicazione, in lingua inglese, presenta un'introduzione critica ad una serie di opere scritte da italiani che, immigrati in Canada per le più disparate ragioni temporaneamente oppure per stabilirvisi , hanno poi voluto raccontare la loro personale esperienza, sia in forma autobiografica che di finzione, utilizzando come lingua non l'inglese o il francese, bensì l'italiano. La scelta di questo mezzo espressivo ha limitato la diffusione e la conoscenza di questi testi presso il vasto pubblico dei lettori (italo)-canadesi. Questa produzione letteraria, poco indagata nel suo evolversi, nei suoi contenuti e significati, va invece considerata come un passaggio obbligatorio per comprendere gli inizi ed anche l'essenza della presenza culturale e letteraria italiana contemporanea in Canada.
Bridging the Ocean, Thematic Aspects of Italian Literature of Migration to Canada
The aim of this thesis is to present an examination of texts forming the Italian literature of migration to Canada, a corpus of writings which comprehends narrative works by writers of Italian background, and in Italian language, but have never been analyzed as a self-contained body. All the authors came to Canada at least for a period in their lives, and have left a varied written record of their experiences in Canada, for the most part either in an autobiographical work or in texts of a more creative nature. Thanks to these texts we were able to observe in literary form the evolution of the Italian migration process to Canada from the l7th-century up to the present-time. Among the authors ...
How the Italians Created Canada
From the moment explorer Giovanni Caboto stepped onto Canadian soil, Italians have left their footprints on Canadian history. In the 1700s, Italians including Alphonse and Henri de Tonti came to New France to trade with the Natives and settle the vast land. In the 1800s, Italian workers built the foundation for railways and highways into Canada's northern forests. Today, Little Italy is a part of every major Canadian city. The Italian-Canadian vote is even credited with helping keep Canada together in Québec's sovereignty referendum.
