New Italian Migrations to the United States

"The volume, as a whole, is a pleasant read and a welcomed new and forward-looking perspective on Italian migration. " --Italica "Laura E. Ruberto and Joseph Sciorra have constellated exacting, often revelatory treatments of the 'rebooting of Italian America' from 1945 to present: radio-conducted familial intimacies, an iconography of luscious Italian female beauty, the U.S. conquests of Italian cuisine, the brain drain of Italian elites into the American academy, and more. Volume two of New Italian Migrations to the United States is of timely value not only to Italian Americanists but to all scholars of late-century cultural flows, which turn out to be globally incorporative and transformatively procreative not despite but because they are ethnic specific and mass-mediated."--Thomas J. Ferraro, author of Feeling Italian: The Art of Ethnicity in America "Editors Ruberto and Sciorra have provided an excellent resource for both students and researchers of Italian-American Studies, and of Italian Americans, whether referring to the "imaginary Italians" to whom the volume is dedicated, or the "real Italians" who grace its pages." --Quaderni d'italianistica "New Italian Migrations to the United States contributes to the growth of academic knowledge regarding the general knowledge of Italian-Americans." --i-Italy "Carefully grounding their analyses in the historical and socio-political contexts of the Italian diasporic exodus to the United Studies, the anthology’s contributors examine the cultural work by and about Italian immigrants from 1945 to the present. In six engaging essays, they establish the critical vocabulary needed to chart the range of expressive forms that are forging contemporary Italian American identities across arts, media and communities while testifying to the on-going vitality and impact of Italian Americana for the globalized world of the twenty-first century."--Norma Bouchard, coauthor of Italy and the Mediterranean: Words, Sounds, and Images of the Post-Cold War Era "The importance of this collection lies not merely in its historical testimony to the centrality of migration in the making of modernity and the contemporary United States, but also, and most profoundly, in drawing us into the multiple threads deeply woven into the artistic and cultural understandings of a world always unwilling to recognize the profound injustices on which it continues to base its authority."--Iain Chambers, author of Mediterranean Crossings: The Politics of an Interrupted Modernity

New Italian Migrations to the United States

"This book illuminates a rarely seen side of contemporary immigration to the U.S., whose prevailing image is of non-Europeans, coming from Africa, Asia, and Latin America--yet also among the immigrants are hundreds of thousands of Italians. The authors of the volume show how the new immigrants ' presence alters our understanding of the white ethnic story as viewed through the lenses of families, communities, and politics. The book represents an indispensable contribution to ethnic and immigration studies."--Richard Alba, co-author of Strangers No More: The Challenges of Integration in North America and Western Europe "An exceptionally good volume that is innovative and will change the game in Italian American studies. This magnificent collection has no competition. "--Graziella Parati, author of Migration Italy: The Art of Talking Back in a Destination Culture "New Italian Migrations to the United States, Vol. 1, provides distinctive and significant insights into recent Italian immigrants while also offering instructive comparisons with other migrant populations." --Italian American Review   "The innovative and sometimes counterintuitive discussions in New Migrations produce fresh insights."--Brooklyn Rail "Worthwhile reading for anyone interested in learning more about Italian immigration to the U.S. after WWII."--Voce Italiana "New Italian Migrations to the United States contributes to the growth of academic knowledge regarding the general knowledge of Italian-Americans." --i-Italy “By focusing on those who crossed the Atlantic after World War II, scholars from many disciplines expand the customary periodization of the Italian experience in the United States. This important collection fills a major gap in the history of Italian Americans.”--Fraser Ottanelli, co-editor of Italian Workers of the World: Labor Migration and the Formation of Multiethnic States
