“From Mazzini the asexual republican leader to Rudolph Valentino, Latin
lover incarnate, and from kitchens to bedrooms, Intimacy and Italian Migration re-questions the ways in which national identities are constructed―from abroad and from the home. This innovative collection of articles compares everything from the Italian mother in Australia, Ireland, and
Germany, to the ‘translocal’ practices of Italian emigrant families. Its strength lies in addressing both stereotypes and experience in the
gendered construction of Italian identity around the world.”
From Italy as nation some 26 million migrant men and women
left since 1870 to create in gendered lives many Italies across
the globe. The paradigmatic essays in this volume analyze how they, with their children and grandchildren, defined translocal and transcultural intimate spheres and redefined processual belongings in highly personal and often contested family arenas. The authors offer fascinating perspectives on the lifetime trajectories of women and men in local-global-national communities. No future research on nations and societies may do less than this path-breaking synthesis edited by the top scholars in the field."
