Download or read book Memories of Belonging Descendants of Italian Migrants to the United States 1884 Present written by Christa Wirth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memories of Belonging is a three-generation oral-history study of the offspring of southern Italians who migrated to Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1913. Supplemented with the interviewees’ private documents and working from U.S. and Italian archives, Christa Wirth documents a century of transatlantic migration, assimilation, and later-generation self-identification. Her research reveals how memories of migration, everyday life, and ethnicity are passed down through the generations, altered, and contested while constituting family identities. The fact that not all descendants of Italian migrants moved into the U.S. middle class, combined with their continued use of hyphenated identities, points to a history of lived ethnicity and societal exclusion. Moreover, this book demonstrates the extent of forgetting that is required in order to construct an ethnic identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the result of an international conference held at Sapienza University of Rome in June 2014, which brought together scholars from different countries to re-analyse and re-interpret the events of the First World War, one hundred years after a young Bosnian Serb student from the “Mlada Bosna,” Gavrilo Princip, “lit the fuse” and ignited the conflict which was to forever change the world. The Great War – initially on a European and then on a world scale – demonstrated the fragility of the international system of the European balance of powers, and determined the dissolution of the great multinational empires and the need to redraw the map of Europe according to the principles of national sovereignty. This book provides new insights into theories of this conflict, and is characterized by internationality, interdisciplinarity and a combination of different research methods. The contributions, based on archival documents from various different countries, international and local historiography, and on the analysis of newspaper articles, postcards, propaganda material, memorials and school books, examine ideological and historiographical debates, the memory of the war and its most important contemporary and popular narratives, and the use of propaganda for the mobilization of public opinion, in addition to military, social, political, economic and psychological aspects of the conflict.

Download or read book Guida allo studio dell emigrazione italiana written by Matteo Sanfilippo and published by Edizioni Sette Città. This book was released on 2010-08-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’enorme fioritura di iniziative in questo primo decennio, culminate nella fondazione del Museo nazionale dell’emigrazione italiana a Roma, fa ben sperare per il futuro delle ricerche sulla diaspora italiana, un fenomeno che per giunta vede negli ultimi anni una notevole ripresa. Tuttavia si ha anche l’impressione che la crescente attenzione produca un impoverimento della conoscenza di quanto realmente accaduto. L’emigrazione italiana ha infatti avuto uno sviluppo su più secoli, dal medioevo a oggi, e viene invece costantemente ridotta a pochi episodi e a pochi schemi facilmente piegabili alla volontà di chi desidera utilizzarli per illustrare una propria tesi. In questo piccolo contributo vorremmo quindi indicare come sia possibile ricostruire la vicenda storica nel suo complessivo sviluppo temporale, evidenziarne alcuni modelli (di partenza dall’Italia e d’insediamento fuori della Penisola) e segnalarne i riflessi nell’immaginario del nostro paese.
Download or read book The Routledge Introduction to Italian Linguistics written by Cinzia Russi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Introduction to Italian Linguistics offers a systematic and comprehensive overview of the linguistic structure of the Italian language, including phonetics and phonology, morphology and morphosyntax, syntax, semantics, and sociolinguistics. The manual includes a historical sketch of the Italian language, which outlines the central phases of its emergence and process of standardization. Written in clear, concise language and taking a descriptive, theory-neutral approach, this is the ideal companion for advanced students of the Italian language and those studying Italian and Romance linguistics. After sketching the most important phases of the process of standardization of Italian and introducing the main varieties of Italian as classified from a social and geographical perspective, this introductory text addresses the core topics of Italian linguistics as pertaining to the sound system and word and sentence structure. The text adopts a descriptive approach and requires no previous knowledge of linguistics since technical terms are carefully explained and illustrated by numerous examples. Thus, it can serve as a reference tool for instructors of Italian and anyone interested in advancing their knowledge of the Italian language or familiarizing themselves with Italian linguistics.
